NEW ZEALAND INSTITUTE.
ANNUAL GRANT TOO SMALL. MINISTER FAVOURS INCREASE. [nv telegraph.— press ASSOCIATION.] WELLINGTON, Tuesday. Tub New Zealand Institute, at its annual meeting today, elected Dr. Cockayne president for the ensuing year. The Hon. G. W. Russell, Minister for Internal Affairs, said he was surprised to find that the annual grant to the institute of £500 had not been increased since 1868. He said he would place before the Cabinet a proposal to increase the grant substantially on clearly-defined lines. His own idea was that Parliament should be asked each year to vote a special sum to be used in providing equipment for the four universities' laboratories, and also the Dominion laboratory. The time had come for New Zealand to face seriously the utilising of by-products and the creating of secondary industries.
