FOR HORSE TROUGHS AN UNUSUAL BEQUEST Memories of. one of the most remarkable wills ever made in Australia have been revived by a visit to New South. Wales of • a representative of the George Bills Trust, which is responsible for the administration of .a large sum in the interests of animals throughout the world, says the ''Sydney Morning Herald." The testator was the late Mr. George Bills, a wire-mattress manufacturer, of Kent Street, Sydney, who died on December 14, 1927. After, providing for many personal bequests on a generous scale, Mr. Bills stipulated that the income from the residue of his estate, as invested by his trustees, should be-spent on. providing, troughs for horses and on donations to societies constituted in any country for the purpose of preventing cruelty to and alleviating the sufferings of animals. The total amount realised for investment, it is said, was about £86,000, but the trustees may disperse the capital at their discretion for the objects specified. According to a statement made in Sydney, the trust has set up over 400 horse troughs in Victoria, and is about to extend its activities to New South Wales, in co-operation with the local authorities. It also makes a regular annual contribution to the funds of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in Sydney and other places. ■ •Each trough is manufactured to a standard design, and bears the inscription, "Annie and George Bills, Australia." Not only does it supply water for thirsty horses, but there is a fountain for thirsty human beings at one end and a small trough for thirsty dogs beneath. It is not known to what extent other parts of the world have shared this unusual bequest, but correspondence shows that news of the fund has spread as far abroad as America. Horses, of course, are not as numerous in the cities of the Commonwealth as they were when Mr. George Bills pitied their lot, but their numbers are increasing in country districts. For that reason the trust will probably concentrate its attention upon rural towns and settlements with the proviso that a reasonable charge is made for railWay freight and that the local councils will consent to make the necessary water connections and prepare bases for the troughs.
