THE TURN OF AUCKLAND.
The brightening of the financial outlookthanks to a prosperous season and an easier money market —has induced a much more generous mood in our cautious Minister for Finance. Money is already being allotted in open-handed manner to other centres and districts, encouraging us to wait with hope and confidence the turn of Auckland. The Otago university having been subsidised so largely we may expect the much greater needs of Auckland's university to be proportionately endowed. Votes for a Day's Bay scenic reserve and Wellington Museum suggest that Auckland's necessities will not be overlooked. While the donation of £40,000 to that suburban thoroughfare, the Hutt Road, gives ground for the expectation that the Infinitely more necessitous and deserving Great South Road will be assisted in proportion to its merit. We have been so repeatedly assured on all hands and by both parties that Auckland is to be fairly treated, in disbursements from the public purse we are allowed to fill, that we await our turn with .pleasurable anticipation*
