RABBIT BOARDS
OPPOSED TO AMALGAMATION PROPOSALS STATEMENT TO COMMITTEE (Per United J'hkhs association) WELLINGTON, August 30. Sixty-two of the 68 rabbit boards were represented before the Select Committee on Local Body Amalgamation when opposition was expressed. Three of the six dissenting boards wrote stating that the boards and county councils could be amalgamated. A joint statement from the North and South Island associations was presented by Mr Goyder, secretary of the South Island Association. It was stressed that the formation of boards was a voluntary action on the part of the occupiers of land to combine in concerted action to rid their holdings of rabbits, and from this flowed a' number of reasons why they should not be amalgamated with county councils. The associations recognised that the amalgamation of certain boards was worthy of the fullest investigation, and, in certain cases, desirable.
