Besolutions were agreed to to the; effect that the moneys received from the sal* and lease of Native lands purchased by moneys taken out of the North Island Trunk Railway loan should be returned to the same fund, that' the available funds should be expended during the current year equally at both ends, and that as there is being annually set aside £250,000 oat of revenue for publio work purposes fair proportion of their amount should, be paid into the Public Works Fund No. 2 for the purpose* of the North Island Trunk Eailway.
