Rabbit Board Rates Fortunately for local farmers there arc few rabbits in tbc country behind Whakatane, which is due in large measure to the good work of the East Coast Rabbit Board. This board, with headquarters at Gisborne, supervises the destruction of rabbits in a huge slice of New Zealand, extending from Wairoa (Hawke's Bay) to the Rangitaiki River. An advertisement in the Beacon has drawn the attention of landowners to the need for paying current year's rates before December 15. So light Is the work of rabbit destruction in this district that farmers are called on to pay only a few shillings, per hundred acres—a cheap insurance against a rabbit invasion.
