[Tho addre^ was very similar to that deiivetod at Vo Aroha and theielore to avoid v -paiii >n, wo only repoit any fiesh points biou^hi oat, and replies to questunisj. Mr Gill said : I am in favour oL ill school age being raided, un<l utter pa* i:u the fourth standaid, children atteuuiuj school bo paid lor. In the town dihlu-.'s it w?8 .specially noticeable that large ruinbers of children attended bdiool, and for whom capitation allowance had to bo paid, who would be much better at home. A new dopartinent had sprung up during the past i'ew years, that of Fore^tiy. The department was a ireful one, but I think here are other indubtiios which would better repay tho money expended. I consider it will be necessar> to bo, row £1,000,000 next year for the completion <>t ;iul)lie woikn now in pio»ves, ct , > i-> , i' Icl'l in an uuLim-lu'd iho ui> " v already cXpeiuKid v. l ! 1 ih ai'i' - , !',,.-. . away. 1 coiibidcr tho v.siillb oi t ■'■' > t quite (-nllieiont to flv'rcw.e tuo dr'-i i the Colony. tri reply to questions, Mi Gill raid : i.«> would be in ftivoui o£ gumg Mr Veil s proposed l.'ilw.iy system a t ial.

(7) With leapcct to the Bill intiodueed by Mr Fii-her, whereby brewers would be debarred Ciom holding public houses ; he was in favour oi! l(\a Bill, uh he believed in free licenses, not in two-thirds of tho licenses belonging to bi ewers. Lf such a Bill weio passed however, three years should bo allowed for the breweis to transfer their interests.
