Prominent Aucklanders Receive Summonses
(By Telegraoh-
AUCKLAND, Last Night. Summonses have been issued against eight prominent Auckland business and professional men whose fishing gear, valued at about £150, was confiscated by the ranger following an allegation that they were fishing in the prohibited waters of Lake Bota Aira, about 11 miles from Turangi, at Easter. The cases have been set down for hearing at Auckland on July 2. The actions .will be defended. Lake Roto Aira has been prohibited to European anglers for eight or nine years. Following the confiscation of the gear, it was explained by Mr. A. Kean, conservator of fish and game at Rotorua, that under a xegulation of the Department of Internal Affairs, only Maori anglers were permitted to use the lake and they had to proeure a permit unless they were members of the Ngati Tuwharetoa tribe. It is thought to be the only lake in New Zealand where fishing xights are restricted in ,such a manner.
