LAST ROUND UP
THE GOATS ARE NO MORE The goat problem was pretty well '■ solved on, Saturday morning when many were shot and some were captured. Mr M. Penny ? borough inspector, was in charge of operations and he was assisted hy several other riflemen. One of the highlights of the clean-up was the picking off of a goat which appeared on the skyline and tumbled down to the foot of the cliff when it was shot. There has been some criticism of the extermination of the goats, but, while it is regretted that it was necessarj' to go so far it must be re_ membered that goats are extremely destructive an'mals. They left a trail of damaged gardens behind them and householders on Hillcrest and below the cliffs will hardly regret their passing.
