A deputation of sheepowners waited on the Hawkes Bay County Council the other day to urge provision for travelling stock on the road. “The trouble experienced by people driving stock on roads through motor traffic is terrific,” remarked Mr C. Ruddenklau, when urging that more stock paddocks should be provided. ‘-‘The treatment the sheep get amounts almost to cruelty to animals.” He stated that 105 cars had passed through a mob on a main road in one day, and Mr J. H. Absolum said that he knew of a mob of 3000 that had been passed by 150 cars in one day. In reply to the speakers, Mr H. M. Campbell, M.P., said that the expense of paddocks was heavy, and it had to be remembered that many of the county’s ratepayers were not sheepowners. The council’s opinion was that the brokers and freezing companies should contribute to the cost of paddocks. It was decided to leave the question of more paddocks over to be dealt with by the incoming council.
