Mr Semple’s Visit Week After Next?
It is improbable that the projected Northland visit of the Minister of Public Works, the Hon. R. Semple, will be made until the week after next, said Mr J. G. Barclay, M.P., this morning. A Government caucus is to be held at Wellington next week, while it is probable that Mr. Semple will have another engagement tat Auckland during the following week. He may, however, be able to come North at the end of the same week.
Mr Semple is coming to Northland primarily to play his first visit to the Bay of Islands, which part of the Dominion he has not yet seen, said Mr Barclay. It is probable, however, that, the Minister will spend a night in Whangarei c-n route.
