HON. J. BITCHENER.
FIRST OFFICIAL ACT. (PRESS ASSOCIATION TELEGRAM.) MASTERTON, April 11. The first official work carried out by the Hon. J. Bitchener, the new Minister for Public Works, was a 'visit paid to-day to Kahutara, South Wairarapa, to inspect the stop banks and meet the settlers. Mr Bitchener was accompanied by the Rt. Hon. J. G. Coates, formerly Public Works Minister, and two Public Works draicage engineers. There has been a difference of opinion between the settlers outside the Kahutara River Board's area and the board, and it was with a view to acquainting themselves with the position that the Ministers and officials paid their visit.
