THE DEPLETED TREASURY.
NO MONEY FOB SCHOOLS. AUCKLAND DISTRICT UNFORTUNATE. Questioned as to the prospect of new school buildings in Auckland City and province, the. .Minister of Education, Hon. C J. Parr, stated this morning that the building programme of the Department had practically come to a dead stoip. There were, of couTse, a great number of grants authorised, and ac these were being expended there was considerable building going on at present. "Sir Francis Bell has told mc in plain language that he has no more money for mc at the present time," said Mr. Parr. "No one regrets this more, than I do, because 1 knoev that Auckland needs pehool buildings more urgently, owing to the growth of the population, than any other district. I simply can't get any more, and that is all there is to it," he reluctantly confessed.
