THE TOURIST DEPARTMENT.
CRITICISM .IN THE HOUSE. (By Telegraph.—Parliamentary Reporter.) ■WELLINGTON, this day. The House sat till after 2 o'clock this morning. Exception was taken to the amount on the Estimates for the conduct of the Tourist Department. The Premier, in reply, said last year's figurea proved how well the expense was warranted. The direct earnings last year were £20.487. as compared to a total expenditure of £49.362. Mr Herrier: "That leaves an actual los of £20.000." The Premier: "No it does not; it is estimated at a low computation that not less than £430 000 was expended lw tourists visiting the Dominion. An attempt is made every year to decry the services of the Tourist Department, bu there is no doubt of the value of the I work done."
