Hon. J. Macandrew on the Future Fincancial Policy.
:'; Gd|6d &&vice# "o^^*6*7 ::^.;/;X; ■>-Palata lble,^; : ; i ; ; Boplying tdia deputation regarding the Steyenty-Mile Bush, Mr Miacandww! said the Government could not consider applications for assistance towards the main-, tenance of roads, as they already had an application of a similar character amounting to, over '£200,000,, and if ;they granted they would'require to find a million of money for the same purpose. There was only one or two courses openi: either they must have extensive taxatiqn, or borrow more money, but; borrowing more money was out] of the question. For the maintenance !of roads and bridges the present txation was not sufficient for the requirements of the Government, therefore inoreased taxation would be necessary ; and the sooner the people of New Zealand faced the fact ; that they would have to rely onthemselves for help, the better it would' be for, the Colony.
