The Now Railway Proposals.—An Im portant Scheme.

Copies of Sir Julius Vogol's Bill, authorising tho Government to lease and purchase railways constructed in the colouy under tho District Railways Act, have been circulated. The bill provides that the Government may contract for tho lease of such railways for a fixed term of twenty years, at an annual rental equivalent to four percent, on the total value, and that they may purchase at the end of twenty years by payment of debenture lease bonds, which shall have been given to secure the lease. The value of the railway, with uncollected rates, is to bo the purchasing price, and is to be determined by three arbitrators, no compensation being allowed for goodwill or lands acquired from Government, although compensation will be given for improvements on these latter. Interest, which must not exceed four por cent., is payable out of the consolidated fund, and the deficiency on working expenses and charges is to bo made up, one-half from tho consolidated fund, and tho other half from a rate levied in the railway district. Tho Minister of Public Works

lias to fix and levy tho rate under the Hating Act of 1882, which shall not exceed £2 per centum on the total value of tho railway in each year. No further rates can be col lected in lcspcct of this Act, and all former rates are to be refunded to the new district. Railways under tho District Railways Act can be authorised, and lines at present in construction taken at valuation schedule. The railways to which the Act applies con sist of Thames Valley and Kotorua, Itakaia and Ashburton, Forks, Duntroon, and liakateramea, Wnimnto railway, and Wai mca I'lains railway. The bill will meet with considerable opposition. •

Amendment of the Mines Act.

It will be remembered that ono night liiat week the West' Coast members, through poino jealous}1 amongst themselves, talked out a bifl of Mi- Seddon's and prevented it being reached on the Order Paper, A soino whatsingnlarcoursehasbeei] adopted to show that the feeling of the House is in favour of the bill being discussed. No less than 50 members have sent n letter to the Premier, which commences : " We, the undersigned members of the House of Representative?, desire that you will give the lnemberforKu mara( Mr Seddonjnn opportunity this session of having tho Mines Act, 1577, Amendment Hill further considered." The bill in quos tion provides for a reduction of the fee for miners'rights to 10s instead of £'1, and of business license fees from £i> to £'i per annum. In Gommittoo, it is proposed to givo wardens power to order the construc tion of tunnols through mining leaseholds by othors than tho lessees on payment of compensation, to be settled by arbitration, and it is also intended to give power to the Governor to declare certain districts open for prospecting, mid to issue prospectors licenses authorising persons to search for gold on lands owned by natives, private lands, and Crown lands, within such dis tricts.

Objections to Remission of Property Tax.

The goneral opinion among members is that Ministers are f.'ifo for the session, as Micro is a dread of incurring fvgain the <li()icultioa tliat were experienced in Die early j>nrt of tho session. Many of the members, however, nro deeply dissatisfied with the remission of portion of tlio property tax, and hold that if tho saving by tho non payment to Sinking Fund is to bo appropri ated to tho roim'ssion of any tax, tliero aro ofchora that press more heavily on the people, or.d havo tho lirat claim to remission. Mr O. L. Richardson, an Opposition member, is moving in thu direction, as you will have «joh by his notice of motion now an the Order Paper, but there lire nthors who objeot to tlie property tax being imposed on tho townpcople, us he would wish, and who pay co larj;o a portion t>f it merely to mako roads in tho country. Mr Moss on Borrowing Tactics. Mr jSloss is among; thosu who object, and I hear that, undaunted by the fate of his last imcndment, ho will pivo notice of another motion to tho effect that tho increase of the external debt of tho colony is becoming a serious embarrassment by tho drain on our resources to meet the minimi payment of interest, and that an oarnoet and resolute effort should be made to keep it within due bounds ; that to this end no oxternal loans skould bo raised for any other purpose than tlie p.ojistruction of railways approved by the House, and that all other works should be paid for by direct taxation by loans raised w tlie colonies or by colonial terminable annuities, which ever tlie Government, after due considera tion, may consider tjie most expedient. Mr Moss tells me ho £<s*4s very strongly in this direction, but his difficulty is to move without the appearance oi moving a want of-conjklenco motion, which ho has no de siro to -do, os he see 3no ,4itrcrence between the Government party or tjie Opposition in this respect, and believes that one is as much reluctant to incur tho odium of stop ping loans as the other. He would like, therefore, to movo before tho Public Works Statement is made, but unfortunately tho ,rulos of the House prevont his doing co, and h.j is afraid, therefore, he will not be -able to kovo at all. If be moves after tho •Public Works Statement is made, and pro poses anything in contravention of its appropriatioßS, the Government will treat It as a want of ,e<?n#denco, and ho cannot hope for succeee. He says that ho will ■movej but not unless it can bo done before the Public Works Statement is made. If unable to do so before, lie and others who ithink with him can only protest, but will .be helpless to j revont.
