PAYMENT OF OPOSSUM BOUNTIES
CRITICISM OF SENDING TOKENS TO WELLINGTON (From Our Own Reporter) m x TIMARU, March 10. The Geraldine branch of Federated Farmers is unsatisfied with the reply from the Department of Internal Affairs about the payment of opossum bounties by local bodies or local Government offices, and will ask the provincial executive to press the matter further. Branch members inferred from the reply that the Department would not tryst “local bodies or Government departments or any qualified bodies" to count the tokens, and protested against the necessity of sending them to Wellington. It was stated that the department should display more confidence in its local stock inspectors by entrusting them with the authorisation of opossum bounties.
