GOVERNMENT GRANTS.
The Government has discovered that jib is moi , 'e ecomomjieal to expeind! its ga"ants' tiipoiu! roads aaid bridges' thii'ougli lbcali bodies, than to do the' woiik by co-operative labour. This was patent from.-the beginnniug to everybody except those who were Hooking for biMtets or tioiulting forvctes. It is unrea'sonni.bile to ©xpecrts lwwever, that local bodies will eonsent to adariiinister the Govcu-nnitent graailt'S iinfess tlney be consailted as to 'W|hat (/! grantis are to be made. In scm© cases grants have been made for works which hftv© not ; only not been asked for by. the local bodies,, but wh&:.h ai'e absolutely not quired. In mdk cases it'iis surely impii-oper to expect a local body to bear tho coslt of adminitsta-aiion.
