RANGITOTO
Sir, —The Minister of Lands, the Hon. F. Langstone, is rather severe on the Rangitoto Domain Board for its action in allowing shacks to be built on the island. The Minister would be better advised to criticise the Department of Agriculture for having allowed the establishment of commercial apiaries on this unique domain. During a recent visit to the island I was credibly informed that the department named had licensed two commercial apiaries, and that a third is about to be established. What a howl there would be if a Government department licensed commercial apiaries in the Auckland Domain! Swarming bees are a greater menace to visitors than noxious weeds will be to the island. A. J. Henry.
