PAYMENT MADE FOR KILLING OF DEER. At the monthly meeting of the Ashburton Acclimatisation Society Mr W. 11. Robinson presided. A letter was received from Messrs Von Sierakowski and A. W. Sparrow regarding fines recently imposed upon them for taking native game without a license. It was resolved to reply that the society had no say in the matter of the amounts of the fines. The Department of Internal Affairs advised that a bonus of 2s per tail would be paid for all deer destroyed in all parts of the South Island, and that they would appoint officers in each district to receive tails and pay the bonus. Permission was granted to Mr W. J. Robertson, of Anama, to take a party to shoot out the shags at the Maori Lakes. Regulation No. 5 of the local fishing regulations was discussed, and it was resolved that regulation numbered 5 on the back of the fishing licenses be cancelled and the following local regulation inserted:—“lt shall be unlawful to use any wire, either plain or twisted, or gimp trace of a greater gauge than twenty-one standard wire gauge, or a rod consisting of only one piece of a greater length than lift.” It was resolved to write to both the North Canterbury and South Canterbury Societies asking them whether they had any regulation in force with regard to the length of one-piece rods. It was decided to appoint Mr F. Ryan, of the Rangitata fishing settlement, to collect accommodation fees from users of the society’s anglers’ hut at Rangitata. Ashburton Bowling Club.
