NORTH ISLAND TRUNK RAILWAY
The "Post" on Saturday strongly con demns any attempt to get the Government bo divert any portion of the North Island Trunk Railway loan to making the road I have referred to before, stigmatising such diversion as illegal. It says that the Government recommend the misappropriation, The Courts of law could be appealed to to restrain what would be clearly an illegal Act. It concludes ; " While the Act in question remains unrepealed the loan money can only be applied to the purposes mentioned in the Act, and any attempt to repeal that Act would be a gross breach of faith to the bond-holders, who have lent the money for the specific purposes to which (as Sir Julius Vogel said when the Act in question was undor consideration) it was absolutely earmarked." erring them to Thursdays could not save them. These Billsare his Law Practitioners Bill, Election of Governor, Land Settlement, Introduction of Labourers, and the Regulation and Limitation of Votes Bill, while Mr Tanner's Bible in Schools Bill is likely to go also Sir George still has his Contagious Disease Act and Special Bottlers' Relief Bill.
