QUARANTINE PRECAUTIONS.
STATION IN TASMANIA? Tn the House to-day Mr T. D. Burnett asked the Minister of Agriculture an urgent question as to whether lie would consider the setting up of a New Zealand Government quarantine station in Tasmania with tlie cognisance of the Tasmanian Government, where all stud stock from England for New Zealand would be maintained at the lowest possible cost in charge of a New Zealand veterinarian, and whether, in view of the tremendous national importance of tlie problem, quarantine and maintenance charges would be subsidised by the Agricultural Department. Tlie Minister of Agriculture (Hon. W. Lee Martin) replied that lie would have the matter investigated. He added that there was the question of cost to be considered, and also the question of how far the Tasmanian Government would concur. He recognised the importance of the suggestion and the necessity for having it investigated.
