Members of the Ashburton Acclimatisation Society visiting the mouth of the Rakaia River recently wore alarmed to see the society’s hut on the south bank in the course of demolition. That the work was not being clone by vandals evident from the fact that those in charge were making no secret of their task. So numerous were the objections, however, that the man directing operations decided to check up on the instructions he had had to carry out the removal of the building. He then discovered that he had not ascertained on which bank of the river was situated the hut belonging to the North Canterbury Acclimatisation Society, which he was to remove, and that he had started to pull down the Ashburton Society's hut instead of that on the north bank owned by the North Canterbury Society.
