KAIKOURA FISHERMEN’S ASSOCIATION.

i The monthly meeting of the Kaikoura i Fishermen’s Association took place on ; Tuesday night, Mr C. Reeves (Presi- ’ dent) presiding over a good attendance of members. Considerable discussion took place regarding the necessity for placing a hand rail at the head of the wharf, and for replanking - the wharf and completing the repairs to the boat slip, members understanding that the work had been authorised by the County Council. It was decided to again write to the Coun- : cil, pointing out the danger to those us--1 ing the wharf through neglect to replace i planking and providing handrails. I The Stationmaster at Parnassus and ; the Railway Traffic Manager at Christ* I church, wrote informing the Associa- < tion that wagons usually held at Par- ! missus for the conveyance of fish to I Christchurch, would be withdrawn, and ■ that it would be necessary in future to ; give at least two days’ notice if wagons i were required. It was pointed out by members that I the reason so little fish was being sent loverland was that the . Conway River : was almost impassable for the fish lorry, : ami that the state of the roads was bad. i It was decided to write the Traffic Man- | ager, asking that the old system be re- ' verted to when fish was being sent cverlaud in quantities. The South Marlborough Progress League wrote advising that the League was prepared to assist the Association in any steps to facilitate the marketing of fish. A letter of thanks was ordered I to be sent to the League. The Inspector of Explosives advised that he would be visiting Kaikoura. After inspection of the Association’s buildings a licence was granted for five Regarding the loss of fish in the motor lorry accident on the Sumner Road, it was decided to write Messrs Feron ami Son, pointing out that some of the fishermen had not been credited with returns as a result of the accident, and enquiring if any claim, had been made on the proprietor of the lorry for losses sustained by the fishermen.
