SMALL FARMS
Council Passes the Bill [Per Press Association] WELLINGTON, December 4. The Small Farms Amendment Bill was passed to-day by the Legislative Council after a debate which lasted until 10 p.m. The majority of the speakers expressed their appreciation of the Government’s action in introducing this Bill. Where there was any criticism it was confined to specific points. A suggestion was made by two speakers that the men serving in the mercantile marine should be included in the definition of “returned soldier.” Hon. W. Perry claimed that the right of appeal should be allowed, as its removal was a serious inroad on constitutional methods. He promised the co-operation of the soldiers of the last war in the settlement of younger men.
Other measures read the first time were the Mokau Harbour Bill and the Sea Carriage of Goods Bill.
