Tho Oainaru Firo Board met to-day to consider the estimates of expenditure for the coming year, which have to be sent to Wellington .this month. }t was found that the. legislature had failed to provide any funds on which the board could d*-aw during the first three months of its existence. One member of tho board offered to get tho board out of ilie difficulty in the meantime, and his offer was accepted, there being immediate requirements, but emphatic protests were expressed agairst the position in which the Legislature bad placed the Fire Boards in neglecting to piovide that funds should _be available as soon as the boards eamo into existence, The whole of tile day was spent in considering and framing the estimates and determining the policy of the board.
