WORK TO PROCEED. IN MODIFIED FORM. [BY TKLK(;i!Aim.—I'BKSS ASSOCIATION-.] Wellington. This Day. In the House yesterday the Prime Minister made a statement in regard to the new Parliamentary Buildings. He indicated that tho buildings would be proceeded with in a modified form, at a cost of £loo,ooo and that tenders would be invited within a month from the present time, three months being allowed for tho receipt of same. Sir Joseph Ward stated that he wished to remove the idea that the Ward Government had ordered the erection of the present foundations of Parliament House. Parliament had authorised all that had been done so far. The Prime Minister said he hoped Sir Joseph Ward did not think that he (the Premier) was attempting to make party capital out of what he had stated. On the contrary, he recognised that Parliament could not remain housed where they were at present for much longer.
