LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.
PUBLIC SAFETY CONSERVATION BILL. PASSED THROUGH ALL STAGES. Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, April 20. The Legislative Council met at 10.30 o’clock this morning, when the Public Safety Conservation Bill was received from the House. In moving the second reading, Sir James Parr said that the Bill had been rendered necessary by the Auckland disturbance and other facts which had come to the knowledge of the Government. The Government could not stand still while acts of sabotage went on. Hon. S. G. Smith said that the measure should be put on the Statute Book at the earliest opportunity. Hon. G. Witty said that the genuine unemployed had not been responsible for the disturbance: He criticised the newspapers, alleging that the reports had been exaggerated. The Bill wap read a second time and put through the remaining stages and passed. The Council rose at 11.15 o’clock until Tuesday next. The report of the proceedings in the House of Representatives appears on page 2.'
