Mr. McKenzie also advocated an active campaign against destructive vermin and natural enemies of the grey duck. He stated that his society proposed increasing the annual licence fees from £1 to £2. The members of the Ohinemuri Society expressed their willingness to support Mr. McKenzie's proposals and offered to do everything possible to conserve native and imported game in the association's area.
Mr. McKenzie inspected areas which have been proclaimed game sanctuaries round Paeroa and Karangahake.
