PEOPLE'S CONFIDENCE IN PUBLIC TRUSTEE.

Sir Julius Vogel, founder of the Public Trust Office, said in the House of Representatives fifty years "Honourable Members must be aware that it is very difficult to obtain trustees for wives and children, or executors under wills, with sufficient time at their disposal to do Justice to the task; and even when after some difficulty and a great sacrifice to friendship juch trustees are obtained, no one can be sure that in the case of death or removal their place will be well supplied." To meet a vital need of the people Sir Julius Vogel secured tbe establishment of the Public Trust Office. The remarkable expansion of the business In five decades Is a great monument to a far seeing statesman. On the 31st March, 1925, wills safely deposited with the Public Trustee totalled 44.102, and this total is increasing at the rate of over 400 a month. These figures In a country of 1.250.000 population, afford very emphatic evidence ofthe people's confidence in their own State-guaranteed Office. n. r. ward.
