a prosecution. Cr Murray: It is a veiy lame ex-

cuse. The chairman (Cr T, 11. Anderson) said that under the lorry system the dumps were larger Ibiuvu they) jhad been in the past.

Taylor seconded, that after legal notice had been given, a prosecution, should h° instituted. 1 Cr. O’Neill; If somefamg is not done about the weeds the country will be o ver-run. It is not fair to other settlers.
