BOROUGH OR BURROW?
RABBIT BREEDING AT DEVONPORT
COUNCIL’S PROBLEM
With trouble on its hands from its efforts to curb poultry farming and from its efforts to control the dog nuisance on the main street,the Devonport Borough Council last evening was confronted with another problem, that of rabbit breeding. The Department of Agriculture wrote inquiring if the borough was agreeable to the issue of permits for chinchilla and angora rabbit farms. Cr. G. Falla was expressing his opinion that the rabbits might be permitted in the borough when the Mayor, Air. E. Aldridge, asked him if he spelled it burrow? Ho said that already one or two enterprising citizens had commenced rabbit breeding and recently the sanitary inspector had to issue an order prohibiting the use of certain premises as a rabbit farm.
The council will consider what policy to adopt.
