An animated discussion on the cost of fencing posts to the farmer concluded the last meeting of the Whakatanc County Council when Cr Luxton drew attention to the absurd prices for totara and other posts which ranged up to £2-1 per hundred. "We. have in this county some of the finest stands of totara,, matai and rimu forests in New Zealand, lie said, "and yet when a farmei wants a few hundred lie's asked to pay these ridiculous prices. Thci c is something definitely wrong and we should find out what it is."' At the invitation of Cr CaAvte it was decided, that the Works Committee Avith Messrs Sullivan and Sims. M.P.s, and the press visit some of the forest areas in the. Galatea riding next month with a view to making a personal inspection.
