Caesar, on behalf of the Ormond branch of the Farmers’ Union, waited upon the County Council yesterday, to urge that a sum be put upon the estimates to provide proper accommodation ior travelling stock. People, he said, were dependent on' the goodwill of their neighbors owing to the fact that there were only a few yards in the district and that owners were fined for holding the sheep on the road. Cr Clayton said the erection of the yards would be beneficial to the Council — it would save the roads. Mr Caesar said an acre of land would be sufficient, for the purpose. Cr Richardson pointed out that there were two acres at the Karaka for the holding of stock. Cr White remarked that from Matawhero to Wairoa there was no accommodation; consequently the owners of stock had to trespass on the kindness of their friends. The Chairman favorably, commented on Mr Caesar’s request, and proposed that the Council include it in their list of requisitions. The suggestion was agreed to.
