"ONE LITTLE FISHING VILLAGE."
. m HON. G. J. GARLAND ON DUNEDIN. AUCKLAND'S SHARE OF FINANCE. (By Telegraph.—Parliamentary Reporter.) WELLINGTON, this day. An unusual interlude occurred in the Legislative Council this morning. The Hon. M. Cohen asked the Leader of the Council a- question in regard to the j amount of Government contributions I towards the financing of the Dunedin
and South Seas Exhibition. Mr. Cohen, having received a reply from the Attor-ner-General. the Hon. G. J. Garland rose and declared that, now they knew Dunedin was receiving £75,000 free of interest, it was about time other parts of New Zealand demanded to know how they were getting' on. Sir Thomas Mackenzie: Why, you are full of money up in Auckland. "We are not full of money," protested Mr. Garland indignantly. "We want our share of the country's finance, the same as Dunedin- If the honourable gentleman had not raised the question.-1 would not have said what I have said. You want to make it apparent that you are concerned about one little fishing village in this country; that is all I wanted to far."
