LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.

THE SHOOTING OF DOGS ON TO BE TOWED OUT BY DUTCH

THE PEAK.

At yesterday's meeting of the Legislative Council a number of new Bills werp introduced, these including the Budget and the $6,000,000 Loan Bill, both of which are reported fully elsewhere.

TUG CO.

The British Admiralty has built a dock in the Tyne River destined for Singapore, quotes a Dutch paper, which goes on to say-

It will be taken in two parts to Singapore by L. Smit and Co., the Dutch Tug Co.

Bight seagoing tuga will be need- ed for the purpose, and these will have to be the biggest now in Hol-

landl.

To enable them to carry out their task, L; Smit and Co. have charter four boats, from Messrs. ed Wijsmuller, another Dutch tug

company.

THE ZANE GREY-ALMA' BAKER EXPEDITION.

...?

Mr. C. Alma Baker, C.B.E., one of the pioneer planters of Mainya, has returned to Singapore after a most interesting and successful fishing expedition around the consta of New Zealand.

LI

For a number of years now Mr. Alma Baker has made "big game" fishing his hobby, a sport in which he has been enthusiastically joined by Mr. Zane Groy, the well-known American novelist and authority on The expedition in New fishing. Zealand waters, both salt and fresh, was planned on an elaborate scule and began early in the year. The coastal waters, and the North Tongariro River, described as the "best trout stream in the world," were thoroughly explored.

Wonderfully Equipped Schooner.

A three-masted Nova Scotian schooner, The Fisherman, wonder- fully equipped and carrying forty men, acted as mother ship for the expedition. Six launches went out from the schooner daily..

The Colonial Secretary, replying to a question by the Hon. Mr. D. G. M. Bernard with reference to the shooting of dogs on the Peak, made it clear that the Government was determined that dog-owners should not imperil the lives of others by their disregard of the law. He said that orders will be given for the most rigorous en- forcement of the law with the view to the extermination here, as in other law-abiding countries, of the und 1.1 reported cases of Scourge of rabies and the danger į hydrophobia.

(b) the methods of enforcing the muzzling regulation and make re commendations for the future?

The Reply.

Hon. Mr. Bernard: Arising out of the replies to the question, I should be glad to know, (1), what experience is considered necessary before police officers are entrust- fred with the duty of shooting degs;

and (2), the weapons used.

The Colonial Secretary: should like notice of the question.

That will have the effect of producing undoubtedly greater clearness and accuracy in the application and also in the order. When persons have to fil up a statutory form, with definite headings and calling for definite facts, there is much less danger of an order being made on vague or insufficient grounds.

The opportunity is also taken to make some minor improvement in the principal Ordinance. I beg to move the first reading of the Bill.
