THE COMING SESSION.
Legislation Foreshadowed.
Tk Kuiti, June 19
Speaking at Te Kniti, the Prime Minister indicated that the present system of public auditing would be further improved, as he proposed bringing down, during the coming session, a complete change in the system of auditing public accounts. All accounts would in future be audited after payment instead of before. It was also proposed to bring down a proposal for universal annuities. All branches of the Civil Service were now under a superannuation system, and a large number of other people had the right to expect similar compensation. For some time past he had been trying to perfect a scheme, and was going to bring down a measure which would result in all old people being able to look forward to some old-age provision of a similar nature. Sir Joseph Ward also indicated the probability of some amendment during the coming session in the conciliation and arbitration laws.
