A GAME SANCTUARY.
THE KOURARAU DAM AREA. NO PERCH-ALLOWED. The Wellington Acclimatisation Society advised the Wairarapa Power Board at its meeting yesterday that it had approved of the board’s application to have the Kourarau dam proclaimed a game sanctuary. Mr R. J. King urged that the board should not permit the introduction of perch to the dam.

His pro- . u u to ban the introduction of perch was carried on the voices.
