EMPIRE EXHIBITION.
EXPENSES OF IMISSION. [By Electric Cable—Copyright.] [Aust. and N.Z. Cable Association.] (Received Tuesday, 11.45 p.m.) LONDON, July D \ Col. Buckley, in the House of Coin- - mons, in answering a question regarding the cost of Major Belcher's : visit to New Zen land in connection \ with the British Empire Exhibi- ■ tion, said Major Belcher's salary was : £I7OO, plus entertainment allowance, £SOO. He understood an expenditure of £4OB was incurred by Major Belcher's mission, consisting of four persons, during their stay in New Zea- ' land, from July 3 to August 20. The visit formed part of a tour of all the Dominions. It was difficult, therefore, to estimate what proportion of the cost of the mission's oversea transport should be allocated io the Zea- , land visit.
