MEMBERS OUT OF PARLIAMENT.
MR CURTIS .AT NELSON.
[By Telegraph.]
~ „ .. ~ Octobers. Mr Lurtig addressed his constituents last night, and commented at length on the State Forests Bill, taking exception to the clause for placing two per cent, of lands under the General Government control. He said he looked upon the Bill as merely subsidiary to a desire to increase the revenue at the disposal of the Government. With regard to the abolition of the Northern Provinces, he declared his intention to continue to oppose it till he knew and was satisfied with the form of Government to be substituted. He pointed out that, financially. Nelson would be a large success, as she would have to undertake the responsibility of the loans raised and the public works carried out in the other Provinces. ■: he other portions of bis speech were only of local interest. A resolution in favor of the abolition of the Provinces was carried by a small majority, very few hands being held up on either, side. The meeting was not a very large one.
