OPOSSUMS ON RANGITOTO
DOMAIN BOARD'S BAD DEAL The Rangitoto Domain Board at its meeting lamented that it had changed its policy of issuing licences for the trapping of opossums on the island. Last season two licences at £lO each were issued and the council received, with Government bonus from the sale of skins, about £49. This season the policy was altered to allow the caretaker to trap on a commission basis of 10 per cent.; however, he was able to get only 200 skins, against 900 obtained last year, and many of them were of poor quality; the council’s share would be about £ 7. The work of the prison labour on the island is to be inspected by a Minister of the Crown at the first opportunity.
