AN ANOMALY.
The Hawkes' Bay Herald of a recent date contains ilie folloning : — It is not often that public bodies m New Zealaud are seen advertising their williugness to lend money, the tenor of their ability and desires being generally m an opposite direction. The Education Board of the Wanganui district, however, i 3 the exception to tie rule, and is advertising money to lend on freehold security, It would be interesting 1 to know lio\v much this Board received from the public funds during the Ixst few years, and whether what it did receive could not have been better allotted to some of the education districts that are practically impecunious. It certainly seems a stupid arrangement that one dislriet should have more than jit can get rid of, and should need to advertise for borrowei-s, wluje other districts can hardly make the ends of receipts and expenditure meet.
