TOURIST ROADS.
TIME FOR EXPENDITURE. jm. ■ DOWNIE STEWART'S VIEW. (By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.) DUNTEDIN, this day. The best time to stimulate recovery was when recovery was already on the road, said the Hon. W. Downie Stewart, former Minister of Finance, in telling the Otago Expansion League to-day that he thpught the present was a good time for thp league to prees for expenditure on tourist roads and on whatever was necessary to encourage tourists to come to New Zealand. Reasons which should be taken into consideration, said Mr. Stewart, were the importance of the tourist traffic, the ■fact that there was a largo amount of idle money which, private enterprise could not profitably use and the presence of a large number of unemployed who would be better engaged on this claes of work than on ordinary relief work.
