"DISGUSTINGLY RICH."

JERSEY CATTLE BREEDERS. ASSOCIATION HAS £23,000. BENEVOLENT SCHEME PROPOSED. (By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.) WHANG ARE X, this day. "However we may be situated individually, I notice that collectively we are disgustingly rich," said Mr. Roland Hill, at the afternoon session of the New Zealand Jersey Cattle Breeders' Association yesterday, pointing- out that the accumulated fund account showed a total of £23,000. In England, lie said, a similar association had found itself in a like position, and it had formed a benevolent fund for widows and orphans and unfortunate members of the association. "It is up to us to do something like that here," lie added, "and the widows and orphans should get something out of it." Ho moved that it be a recommendation to the council to form a benevolent fund for widows, orphans, and members of the association who had experienced misfortune. The president, Mr. C. G. C'. Dernier, ruled the motion out of order. Under tho constitution, the association could not spend its money as a benevolent institution. Mr. Hill: That cock will not crow. What about the money you voted to the earthquake victims'! Mr. Dormer said that special validating legislation had been passed. Mr. Hill: It is about time we altered our rules.
