FINANCIAL EXPEDIENTS.
(By Telegraph.—Parliamentary Reporter.)
WELLINGTON, this day. i
There is an old and trite proverb which points out that there are more ways of killing a dog besides choking him with butter. The canine saying has also some connection with cash. Just when the pessimists were gloomily prognosticating all manner of terrible disasters, including a sudden stoppage of civil service salaries, pensions, etc., owing- to the putting up of the Treasury shutters, someone, evidently one in authority, comes forward to tell us that though the period expired on the 30th inst. during which the Treasurer could incur unauthorised expenditure, that gentleman possesses a Fortunatiis purse by means of a little expedient under tlie .Public Revenues Act. It is said that the Act provides for payments beingmade under requisitions made before the expiration of the three months between the 31st March and 30th June, and that as the term did not expire imtil June 30th, all the necessary requisitions were made, including provision for this week, and before that is over an Imprest Siipply Bill will be got, through.
