TOURIST ROADS.
TIME FOR EXPENDITURE. MR DOWNJE STEWART’S VIEW. DUNEDIN. Aug. 1. The best time to stimulate recovery j was when recovery was already on the road, said the. Hon. W. Downic Stewart, former Minister of Finance, in telling the Otago Expansion League that he though the present was a good time for the league to press for expenditure on tourist roads and on whatever was necessary to encourage tourists to come to New Zealand. Reasons which should be taken into consideration, said Mr Stewart, were the importance of the tourist traffic, the fact that there was a large amount of idle money which private enterprise could not profitably use and the presence of a large number of unemployed who would be better engaged on this class of work than on ordinary relief work.
