ACCLIMATISATION
AMALGAMATION OF AREAS
MORE EFFICIENT CONTROL
(By Telegraph.) (Special to the "Evening Post.")
PALMERSTON N., This Day,
Reforms in the control of acclimatisation generally, which may have far-reaching effects were suggested at a meeting.of the Manawatu sub-committee of the Wellington Acclimatisation Society on Saturday evening. Several members of the society council were present from Wellington, and it was from them that the suggestion emanated that sportsmen should consider a."policy-of amalgamation, o£ acclimatisation areas generally, particularly within the domain of the Wellington Society. The question was raised during a discussion^ on, the proposed granting of dis.trict fishing licences. Mr. W. J. Haase said it had been alleged that the granting of district licences was merely a. leyer'^ to compel amalgamation of acclimatisation districts. This belief was definitely erron-. eous, but nevertheless .the council was of the opinion that for reasons of economy and more efficient control the time was ripe for a definite step 'towards consolidation. Such a move could not but be beneficial to sportsmen generally. , - Mr. R. H. Nimmo also spoke in support of amalgamation. Although amalgamation had not yet become the, prime object of the society, he said, it was high time that some steps were.taken, to solidify, the position of acclimatisation bodies. Local body amalgamation was being given prominence at the present time on economic grounds, and the need was equally great in the matter of the control of sport, _It was imperative in'the work of the society and its branches no less than in local body government that administration • costs should be reduced, and he considered they should fall into line with the spirit of the times and amalgamate all districts in the Wellington province into a strong body. ■ Combination , would also mean that greater benefits ,would result from the hatchery service at Master-ton, continued •Mr. Nimmo.. - ' > •■
