"POOR FOWLS"
COUNCILLOR'S IRONIC REMARKS . "You never lcnow what the Government will do next, they're making us register fowl roosts now," remarked one councillor at the meeting of the Opotiki Borough Council during a discussion as to whether the council should support a protest against the arbitrary amalgamation of local bodios. Another councillor remarked that the council might as well support it becaUse if the Government decides to do it a protest won't have the slightest effect. "Yes," agreed the first councillor; "they're even going to try to make you nominate your chickens before they're hatched, yet they won't let you take a ticlcet in 'Tatts'." Cr. Shalfoon (anxdously) : "Have you got to say which of the unhatehed chickens are cockerels and which are hens?" ! Cr. Hitehens; "No! They let you off the cockerels, only .the working Cowls have to pay, as usual."
