It was advocated that these should be replaced by an annual fee of 30s for the whole Dominion, with corresponding decreases for ladies and boys under 16, the Government to receive one-third of the revenue to be applied towards territorial fishing rights and general acclimatisation purposes. —The suggestion was not supported by the local council.
