Mr Knllmteo's Scheme

(BY TEL_UI.A.'_ -OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

Wellington this day. The proposal of Mr Ballanco to introduce a Lund Expropriation Bill during tho coming session seems to have excited a groat deal of interest in both the Now Zealand and Aus tralian press. It will, therefore, bo of interest to your readers to know something of the nature of the scheme to be submitted to the House. lamin a po'itioD to give you a very full summary of tho pro visions of the proposed measures. Tii_ bill will be called the Acquisition Bill, and will p ovide as follows : —Twenty or more persons, assoeiatod together for tho purpose of promoting tho settlement and the occupation of land in small farms, having framed special rules for the conduct of their -Hairs, will be doomed to be formed info an association undtr the Act from the day when the (Governor has noti fied his approval of tho rules, and such association may then contract with the owner of any privute land in any part of tho colony for so much of such land as shall bo sufficient for tho purposes of the association, nt any price not oxceediog tho valuation male under "The Property Assessment Act, 1585," uith not more than 10 per cent, added, as well as the value nf all improvements, if any, eil-ctcd on such Una since the valuation was made. It the UHsociation havo agreed with the owner of tho land us to price, they may pe'i ion tho Governor to enable them to acquire it, setting forth in the petition the aroa, locality, and quality of tho land, and the prico they are willing to pay not oxce-ding, however, tho amount mentioned abovo and depositing an amount equal to one-fourth the prico agiood upon. Every petition of tho kind is to be remitted to two Com missioners to bo appoiuted for investi gation snd report, ono Commissioner beint; the Commissioner of Grown Lands for the district in which the land is situated and tho Surveyor Goneial, or any person whom he may appoint, to act in his placo, the other. For the purposes of this Act, tho powers of tho " Coinmissioneis' Powers Act, 18(57," are conferred upon the Commissioners, whoso duty it will be on receipt of v petition to fix a time und a place for inquiring wlicthor tho land proposed to bo acquired is suitablo for tho purpoeos of small farm settlement, and whether tho Association will protnbly be ablo to carry into effect the permanent settlement of the land. All such investigations aro to bo open to the public, and the Commissioners are to report, their decision to tho Governor in- Ci uncil. Objections to tho acquisition of land may bo with und considered by tho Commissioners Tho Governor in-Council may, hut shnll not, bo compelled to do so, give effect to any petition uu re ceiving the report of tho Commissioners ; but if the Governor agrees to acquire tho 'and, tho Commissioners shall require the owner to execute a doed of conveyance or transfer of tho said hind to Her Majesty. If tho association cannot agreo with the owner ol uny land for its pur chase or cannot agree as to price, or if the owner rofusos or has no power to sell, tho association m.y still, if they tnink it desirable to acquire tho lands, petition the Uuvernor-in Council to that end, set ting forth in tho petition tho prico they aro willing to p.y, und that hav ing olTored such pi ice it has been refused. The Governor may then direct th-.l'roporty Tux Commissioner to app.int a competent surveyor to make, ut tho c:.-' penso of tho association, a separate vain,.

Tho Governor having rocoived this valuation, is to notify to the association tho amount (thereof, and toti quire them todeporitwkhtho Commissioner ono fourth at least of tho amount, plus ton por cent,, as a guarantee ejl good faith.

Upon receiving such report, tho Uovortioi in Council may or rouj y.Qt like eil.ut to tho petition or tho 'atsochtion If it i. docided to acquire tho lmd compul sarily, tho Govonor will bo entitled to do so upon written notice being given the owner tjjnt i) 0 vijl trjjfe japq (or tiio pur. poses of top Act, and 'bat he has referrpd the disputod question of price for decision by tho Land Court to Uo established for such purposes thereafter. All matters in relation to the arauisiiion of land are to bo oarrioil out by the Court until it makes its deel-l.m. Exemptions from Expropriation.

Wellington, this day. Promotion for Auokland Schoolmasters. Two Aucklandei-3 have just received ap pointments under the « ellington Educa tion Board : -George Newell Phillips has been appointed maetor of Tawa Flat School, and James Willis assistant master at Mac torton School, There wero a number of ap plicants for each position.

Mr VV. H. Drailin, Secretory of tho Wel lington Young Men's Christian Association, and orstwhilo rosidont of Auckland, has re signed his position, as assistant at l'otone, to talto a better position in an Auckland echool. A Fortunate Escape. A report which has gone the roundß of the papers to the effect that Miss Stubbs, a lady well-known in connection with the Immigration service of the colony, had perished in tho ill fated Kapunda, is authori tatively contradicted. It appears that Miss Stubbs was offered her choico betweon the Kapunda and Ruapehu, but, accepted the lutter, by which sho recently caino to New Zealand, and returned home in the Rimu taka. Football Matters. Tho circular forwarded to tho Football Union of New Zealand by the Southern Union (Sydney) was considered at a meet ing of the Wellington Kugby Union last night. Aftor discussion, a resolution was passed affirming that it was not desirable to sond a Now Zealand foam to New South Wales this year, and referring the matter to tho Managing Committee for considera tion. The Auckland Exhibition. The " Post" spuaks approvingly of Mr Twopeny's Exhibition proposal and says : " There is no plaoo in tho colony so well suited for an affair of tho kind as Auckland, while tho fact of its being held there would at onoo stamp Now Zealand as tho head quarters of the Pacific, and do a great deal to promote und develop our own trade with tho Islands. In the hands of capable busi ness men, the writer is cjnvinoed that the Auckland Exhibition of 1890, if oarried out on the lines laid down by sir Julius Vogel and Mr Twopeny, and with thoir oordial co-operation and practical assistance, might be made a gigantic success."

In ovory department of human effort wo Uwaya find that real merit makes itself felt sooner or later, and ensures ultimate success. Colonists engaged in country pursuits had been for many years labouring under tho disadvantage of having no peiiodical published in New Zealand ex clusively devoted to cheir interests, and specially dealing with the theory and practice of agriculture <jnd horticulture in all us b,ranohea. In the " New Zealand Farmer Bee and Poultry Journal" our rural settlers have this waut most effec tually supplied. Now in the third year of its existence, this journal hao steadily advanced in the favour of the class for whoip. it is published, having earned a character for practical usefulness that has gained for it a firm position as th* agricul tural journal of the colony. With almost every renewal of a subscription comes some expression of satisfaction, such as the fol lowing from Shaftesbury, Te Aroha i— " Dear Sir,-Enclosed please find my sub scription for the ' Farmer' for the current year. It is a great benefit to have such a valuable journal published in New Zealand. —Yours truly, William Faoxder.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

Sir Julius Voxel's Proposed Inter national Exhibition Approve.!.

A sphciat. meeting of tho above body was be ; d yesterday afternoon ot 3 o'clock, for the purpose of considering Sir Julius Vogel's proposal for the holding of a Mari time Exhibition in Auckland in IS9O. Mr John Lamb (President) occupied the chair, and about 15 other members were present. The Chairman, in introducing the busi ness, reminded the Chamber that it was its duty to decide whether the proposed Exhi bition in Auckland for 1890 should bo carried out, and if so, upon what lines—whether those of Sir Julius Vogel or upon different lines. It was an Exhibition in the fruits of which the whole colony would particinate, It was not a merely Auckland affair—it woe of colonial value and importance, and that being so, the rest of the colony should be invited to co operate and contribute. Tho Chairman quoted extracts from Sir Julius Vogel's speech, delivered in Auck land last year, from his last Financial State ment, and from a further communication received from him, to show tho desire of the Government to havo the Exhibition carried out, and tho lines upon which they con sidered it should bo placed. These pussagos were as follows: — "It seems to be supposed that the idea of an International Exhibition at Auckland is a novel idea, and one that has not received any officiul sanction. This is correct bo far as giving the Exhibition tho character of a maritime one, but not as to its being international and intercolonial," Then from tho Financial Statement delivered on tho 25th of May last: " The Government are ol opinion that an In ternational and Intercolonial Exhibition should be held about 1890 to celebrate the opening of the through rail nay." And again : " They will spare no exertion to got the rail way finished during the year IS9O, and they think that an event so momentous in the history of the colony as the completion of the lino between Wellington and Auckland should, as I havo already mentioned, be celebrated by an International and Colonial Exhibition." Sir J, Vogel did not think that much more could be done with the Islands in aid of a legitimate exhibition of cither a maritime or industrial character. The industries of the T slands were unfor tunately as yet jl( developed. Tho follow ing further extracts from the letter were qUo read by the Chairman : —"I expressly wished the people of Auckland to take charge of the management, with a certain amount of pecuniary risk attaching to it, becauso I felt certain it was quite possible to bring the oust, by good manage ment, within very reasonable limits." The mistake made at Wellington was in charg ing too littlo for space. It would be *ar better to get the Admiralities of different countries, and tho grout shipbuilding yard*, to exhibit solid a.nd valuable samples of their skill, than to have a groat spread of trumpery exhibits. Then, too, the open ulr entertainments which Sir Julius had suggested would fill the Auckland Ex hibition night after' night at a cheap cost. This was not a merely maritime exhibition. All the countries of the world would be invited to, eond in samples of thoir productions, and he did not se?, '' they took up the ma,tt_r with spirit, and with tho aid of tho Government contribution which W2S prcmieed, that they were likely to a failure. But ho oon tadered that it would be desirable that (she spatter should bo taken up, not only by Auckland but by the whole country. The Chairman concluded by alluding to tho pr.b.ible completion of the Panama Canal in or before IS9O, and to tho great importaneo wtiich its opening would lend to an international maritime exhio.tlev? ia this city. Mr McMillan, rnov-d the first resolution, \iz , "That thp Mayor be interviewed and requested to call a public meeting for the purpose of forming a committee to carry tut the necessary arrangements in respect of tho International Maritime Exhibition in Auckland in IS9O, such committee to be compoeed of tno Council of this Chamber and such other gentlemen as the meeting may appoint." In doing so he said one of the most reassuring pp,its oi Sir Julius Vogel's pronosa't was his assurance that the truck railway would be completed in Iti'JO The proposed Exhibition should not bo taken up unless they were deter mined to make of it a complete success - a success that would attract a larje concourse of visitors from afar, and command the admiration ~f t«e neighbouring colonies. I'u-y _h->uld be careful not to make a laughing-dock of themselves. At any rate, the Chamber should pass the matter on to the Mayor and City Council, and the citi zens at largo be made respom-ible for its euccesa or failure. The Mayor himself might head the subscription list with £1,000 or so. At any rate, the ques tion was one to be decided upon a consideration of ways and means, and f° r that object it was nece-ssary ♦<_. have a strong committe. of practical toper*. Mr A. H, Nathan, in seconding tho motion, hoped the matter would be taken up ut once and carried on •spiritedly. He felt surprised that such slight ventilation had been given the matter in the press, and the ahaence of letter, therein from public men diaeuesina the project. Surely when tbpUla'gow City Coancil could guarantee £'JO,OOO cowards an exhibition in that city, the Auckland City Council might do some thing in tho samo direction. The people here did not seem to bo im pressed with the importance arid value of an but as he had been to several be was under no misapprehension under that head. He hoped the proposal would be eagprly taken up, and spiritedly carried out.

! -Mr Graves Aickin warmly endorsed the remarks of the preceding speakers, He defended the right of Auckland to aspire to the possesiionof anlnternationalExhibition, by pointing to the fact that ahe was now tho third oity of the Australasian colonies, while the first two, viz , Melbourne and Sydney, had already had their exhibitions It was peculiarly fitting that the exhibition held here should be a Maritime Exhibition and it might also be made of a Pc.lyn_aian character. Exhibitions pf oli kinds were great educators tosides" acting as a stimu lus to tvade; and an Exhibition of the kind propose-, for Auckland would be a speciality in exhibitions, and therefore would b$ pos sessed of extraordinary interest. , Mr Larking thought the terra "Maritime i-xhibition ' of too restricted a character, and therefore advocated tho term being altered .0 " Maritime and Industrial Exh£ Mtiqq " The Chairman believed that this was in tended, while Mr McMillan remarked that it was a more matter of detail, which could bo arranged hereafter. _. M £ B. Way mouth thought the title of the i-xhibition should be " Industrial and Maritime Exhibition." Mr Adam Porter considered the nape was immaterial. He was sara the people of tho South would support the holding of an exhibition in Auckland. If the press had boon silent ho attributed it to tj,e fact that the Chamber had declined to take the people into its confidence until it had pre pared a programme whereas tho pro gramme was not forthcoming. He felt sure the necessary guarantee fund could be raised in Auckland. The Chairman replied that it was for the Mayor and City Council to take the matter "Piu } c , ehoul , d ba B reatl - v disappointed .7 _ ,d _ not do 6o; Th e Chamber was _ot the body to carry it out. Mr iMcLachlan thought the idea' should not bo ocal, but that it sfcovUd be an -nter \m'- * *^ w held at Auck , The Chairman said that this was clearly the idea ; none other had obtained. Mr McMillan pointed our that his motion proposed throwing the whole matter on to the shoulders of the Mayor and City Coaa cil and citizens, and to make them respon sible for its success or failure, the Chancer merely gi-ing its help, ' shoulcfhrin^. 1 !. 6 W8 „ ° f opiniQn *■* Z.

Including the lost two millions, And several other shows. But not, perhaps, the Barmaid Show. In the cave at Watson's Bay ; Or the Dlbbs who basse. Russia, Though of Hallway Frauds he may.
