THE ACTING-PREMIER.
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.) _•]
DUNEDIN, Monday,
A number of deputations waited on Sir J. G. Ward, the Acting-Premier, to-day, but the subjects dealt with were mostly local. In reply to a request of bandsmen for the same concessions as volunteers when coming to Dunedin in connection, with the fallen soldiers' monument or Coronation Day, the Acting-Premier said it was a mistake to suppose volunteers were carried free. Every department had to pay for the work done for it'"by other departments. He promised to look into the matter and see .if any concession beyond that available to the general public could be made. Sir J. G. Ward visited, with the directors, the New Zealand Coal and Oil Company's oil blending workjs,* which were inspected, also the engine fitted up with apparatus fop using oil as fuel. The Minister may probably have some of the Government railway engines fitted xip to give oil a trial.
