COUNCILS IN CONFERENCE.
4 - ». (By Teleeraph.-Press Association.) ■ Timaru, Hay 20. A conference of delegates of local councils was held, to-day .to discuss two matters. The count}- councils hare been urging for some time past that auctioneers license fees should be paid to the whole district by going to the. Hospital Board instead of going wholly .to the boroughs. After discussion with the Timaru Borough representatives, when reference wa,s made to the statutory provision that fees must go to, the borough, no decision was arrived at. It was decided to hold another conference. Small birds was the second subject. On this the counties agreed to reduce the price paid for old birds from Is; to !)d. a dozen, and 6d. for eggs and young birds, as before, but no county is bound to buy any. It is stated that Geraldine paid iIOOO, and Levels .£6S9 last year. It is said the birds have not decreased, but have been kupt in check, nwl it was stated that many were paid for twice over, through supplyin;' poisoned wheat and paying for poisoned birds. It was agreed that this must cease.
