(Pbr Unitbd Press Association.)
NEW PLYMOUTH, April 17.
The Premier was waited on this morning by a deputation representing the Scenery Preservation Society and the North Egmont Reserve Board, asking for assistance in completing the road to the Mountain House. Mr Seddon promised to do all in his power in the matter, as he recognised that if scenery was to be popularised it must be made1 accessible. In the afternoon he addressed a meeting of women.
A public banquet tendered this evening to the Right Hon. Mr Seddon was largely attended. The Premier defended the action of the Government in offering the services of troops for Samoa, and intimated that the Government would reduce by half per cent, the interest on loans under the Advances to Settlers Act, and would also amend the act in the direction of issuing a new security when £200 was paid off, the borrower to pay interest only on the balttnce.
