17. These by-laws may be cited as the Keeping of Cattle, Swine, Sheep and Goats By-laws.
*. Before anybody can keep pigs on Crown Land in the Urban Area he requires a licence from this Council and a permit from the Crown Lands Office. One ia no use without the other, and the Crown Lands permit is terminable at a month's notice. The Select Committee therefore recommands that the By-lawa shall provide for our licence to terminate automatically if the Crown Lande permit in cancelled. This does not adversely affect existing licensees (since they cannot as it is continue to occupy the area without a Crown Lands permit) and will enable more sites to be approved for additional pigaties. "By-law 2 of the draft By-laws implements this recommendation.
4. By-law defects an increase in licence fees, but at the same time makes provision for a proportionate refund of the fees upon termination of any licence, except for breach of the By-laws.
5. Opportunity is taken to give a title to the By-laws, which is effected by By-law b.

Explanatory Note.
(This mode does not form part of the By-loace).
1. The Select Committee on Cattle, Swine, Sheep and Goata have considered, in consultation with other interested "departments, the possibility of finding more areas in which pigsty licences may be granted,
2. At present there are certain areas otherwise amitable for pig- keeping but which are expected by the Public Works Department to be developed in the foreseeable future, when pig-keeping will have to stop. There are many applicants who would be willing to accept a temporary licence to keep pigs in one of these areas, but hitherto that has been impossible as the licences may be issued only annually.
