In the Press Association telegrams, ■, some of the amendments moved in com*'" i; mittee of the Military Series Bill were credited to those who had not moved •,* tlioin. The most important one \*ks that i moved hy the member for Taumarunui, '• which reduced the maximum penalty for desertion from ten years to flvfe yean. This was credited to Mr, St&tliam, tho member for Runedin South. _ Mr. Jen- : nings' amendment was carried by 60 votes to five. j| The toughest bit„of red tape we have 'I come across recently (says the Dunedin Star) is this: A man wrote from ft remote town to the Imperial city of his i country, the subject being some ordin- ■] ary piece of business. His letter was returned with an explanation from an of- ■ ■ (icial that it had been addressed to *'■" wrong person He wrote again, and the \ matter in hand was disposed of with no ij less beyond that of time. Shortly afterwards lie had personally to travel to the Imperial city, and by chance he visited < the great departmental building, and di»- 'ijj covered that the room of the official to whom'he addressed his lettei and th» room of the official to whom it should hdve been addressed wove next to ? other. Hv.ictly (Ift apart, 011 the, samn ;i corridor! Of course, this could not occur in New Zealand.' But it did. • deferring to the statement of lion. • W. Frascr, "that no new money would t. be available, for any work not now'on > the Estimates," and which was made to a deputation of County Councils introduced by Messrs Jennings and Young, M.P.'s. the member for Tamnarunni say* ;> it will cause grave disappointment tn J settlers who have been ten and twelve years without access to 1 Heir rections. >, There are a number of settlers who liavn been living in hope that, after tho big metalling schemes for main roads had J been fairly accomplished, their position , would be takeii into serious consider#- J tionj in fact, every Public Works Minis- >' ter has recognised the importance of SO ''J doing. Only a few months ago when. •- 5 the Hon. Frascr, accompanied by Mr. Jennings, made a tour through tho eloc; jj torate, the Minister said he fully reeognised the serious position settlers, With- Ag out proper access, were placed in and M ho would provide for them if he got J8 the money. So keen were the settlers in.jjjl having aecess that they promised to do j| work of widening, otc., at 20 per cent: below the estimate fixed by the Depart-'.'S ment. The member for Tauraqrunut.jj again reiterates his former statement that, unless access is given to seleetoflj -fl at an increased rental, no land should be thrown open for selection in biu&tjl swamp, and fern districts.
