FISHING IN AVON
Prohibition Extended A recommendation from the Christchurch City Council that the prohibited fishing area in the Avon be extended to include the river between the Armagh street bridge at north Hagley Park and the Barbadoes street bridge was agreed to by the council of the North Canterbury Acclimatisation Society on Wednesday evening. Mr G. Mugford spoke against the restriction. He said it was better to get boys interested in fishing than to ‘■go tightening their pants or wearing' bell-bottom trousers and getting around the streets.” "They are not all the dear little boys some try to make out, said Mr J. Glasson. He said he had seen a boy fishing from the Gloucester street bridge with a “dirty big hunk of brass with a triple hook” which he was swinging around to the danger of the public and ducks.
