Opposition quidnuncs predict that the Old Age Pensions Bill willoccupy the attention of the House lor fully another Aveek, and in the end will be emasculated or throAvn out by the Council. One or two Auckland members are knoAvn to be opposed to important features of the measure. The Opposition whips state the discussion on the Public Works Estimates will absorb another week.
