"The opossum has an unknown cash value to the country," said Dr. R. A. Falla at a meeting of the North Canterbury Acclimatisation Society, reports the "Press." On the other hand, it was difficult to estimate the amount of damage done by this animal to native plant and bird life, and also to power lines, said Dr. Falla. The meeting agreed that the society's delegate to the Council of South Island Acclimatisation Societies, which is to meet in September of this year, be instructed to support the lifting of restrictions on the killing of opossums.
