GABLE RATES.
GOVERNMENT FAVOR A STATE .OWNED CABLE.
(By Telegraph—Press Association.) Auckland, last night.
Speaking at To Awamutu, tho Hon. J. G. Ward said that the present condition of affairs in regard to cable fates between New Zealand and Australia was unsatisfactory, and he thought New Zealand should lay its own cable. He had formerly asked the Cable Company if they would sell their cable, and he thought the matter was reported to the London Board, but had heard no more of it. The Premier was at one with him in his views. He hold that the State should own its own cable, and ho trusted that the majority of members of Parliament would agree with him, so that a much-needed reform would not be a thing of discussion, but an established fact. With a State-owned cable tho rates would be considerably reduced.
