SPORTING DOGS.
PROPOSAL TO INCREASE FEES. Recently , the Kairanga County Council circularised local bodies seeking support for a proposal that, with a view to restricting sheep worrying by sporting dogs, the fee for registration should be increased to a maximum of £2.
At to-day’s meeting of the council a number of replies were received, but a difference of opinion was evident. Five of the county councils favoured the introduction of the higher fee, although one considered a fee of £1 would be sufficient. Two negatived l the proposal, four merely received the communication, two considered, the existing fee high enough, while one southern county council considered that it was not so much sporting dogs which were responsible for the worrying of sheep as unregistered dogs of all descriptions, including sheep dog 3. The matter was not pressed further.
