[By Electric Telegraph.]
July 19. In the Lower House, yesterday, a petition was presented from Alex. Livingston, of Dunedin, praying for compensation for the sudden deprivation of his public office. The following Bills were read a first time : —Public Health, Permanent Officers Salaries/ Drawbacks, Public Trusts Office, Life Assurance Companies, Tramways. The address in reply was agreed to. 3.15 p.m. Mr Gillies gave notice to-day of a motion affirming the desirability of the introduction by the Government of a measure this session defining the power of Provincial Governments. . Mr Parker drew the attention of the Government to the decayed and dangerous State of the roof of the House of Rcpyesen-. tatives. The Speaker explained that steps had been taken to secure the roof, but it was not safe as against an earthquake. In reply to Mr Stafford, the Minister for Public Works said that a portion of the Timaru and Temuka Hailway is under contract, and that the whole work would be proceeded with as quickly as possible. In reply to Mr Collins, the Colonial Treasurer said the Government intended to amend the Distillation Act, to enable publicans to brew upon their own premises, and to confer other privileges.
