WHITEBAITING ON THE ASHLEY
Sir, —Unlike “Property Owner” I am reserving my congratulations to the catchment board until I see if that body can save the other half of our domain at Waikuku Beach. Why <blame the whitebaiters for vandalism when it is the opinion of a good many that the dragline has been the cause of the main stream heading for the settlement? I have seen cattle grazing on the stopbank and last Sunday evening four head were on the stopbank at the end of Kings avenue, with free access to the riverbed below the stile. Then there are thousands of holidaymakers and campers at Christmas tiAe. No vandals among those. No, blame the fishermen, of whom I am one.—Yours, etc., ALSO A PROPERTY OWNER. June 11, 1953.
