RESPONSIBILITY.
u LOCAL BODIES’ WOiIKS. MB COATES EXPLAINS A NEW i( SYSTEM. Auckland, January 8. "1 uni against centralisation in my Departments. 1 want to put responsibility on others. 1 believe local bodies can be trusted with responsibility, of course, subject to inspection by my officers,” said the lion. J. U. Coates, at Kaeo, in explaining to a deputation the new policy of the Department in making grants, in future, said Mr J. G. Coates, giants would be made in lump sums to various counties or local authorities, and on them would fall the responsibility of allocation. Presumably, they knew what works were most urgent in the districts, and would act accordingly. At any rate, it would be for them to arrange their own programme, according to the funds available. But while he wished to decentralise, and lei the local bodies take responsibility, the Department would prefer that the roads ou which the grauts were spent should lead either to a railway or a port.
