The Board greatly regret that there is such a large amount of Observations 
arrears to be reported. While part of them are no doubt due to the thereon - 
poor fishing in certain districts last year, in some cases the Board 
had reason to believe that the borrowers were in a position to pay 
the instalments as they fell due, but did not do so. Consequently 
the Board deemed it their duty, after fully inquiring into the cir- Proceedings 
cumstances of the defaulters, to take proceedings, although with defau\t?rs. nHt 
much regret, against some of the persons in arrear for recovery of 
the amounts due.
