CATTLE TICK.
PRECAUTION FROM SPREADING. CROSSING-KEEPER SUGGESTED. The Director-General of the Department of Agriculture wrote to the Ohinemuri County Council with reference to a request to have a crossing-keeper appointed between A and B areas in the cattle tick infested country, and advised that the matter was being considered. The chairman said that it was a very important matter, because, apart from the damage to stock if they became tick infected, it would be necessary for the Council to erect a dip at a heavy cost. The local stock inspector had suggested that the county surfaceman might also act as a crossing-keeper, but he had informed the inspector that that arrangement would not be practicable. Cr. P. Corbett said that Waihi Plains, possibly had not many virtues, but at the present time it was absolutely free of blackleg and cattle tick. He thought that while the districts were clean every endeavour should be made to keep them clean. He suggested that the Department should be asked to erect a cattle dip in ,the tick area on the Tauranga-Coromandel and Ohinemuri boundaries, and moved to that effect.
Seconded by Cr. H. M. Corbett and carried.
