PEOPLE'S CONFIDENCE IN PUBLIC TRUSTEE Sir Julius Vogel, founder of the Public Trust Office, said in the Mouse of Representatives fifty years ago: “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 such trustees are obtained, no one can bo sure that in the case of death or removal their place will be well supplied.” .< To meet a vital need of the people Sil - Julius Vogel secured the 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. 1926, wills safely deposited with the Public Trustee totalled 48,957, and this total is increasing at the rate of over 500 a month. These figures in a country of 1.250,000 population, afford very emphatic evidence of the people’s confidence in their.own State-guar-anteed Office. For information apply to T. R. SAYWELL, District Public Trustee Greymouth.
