MR LANG’S DIFFICULTIES
SHORTAGE OF FUNDS EXPECTED TO LEAD TO DISSOLUTION (United Press Association.) (By Electric Telegraph—CopyHfbt.) SYDNEY, May 9. The Herald says that the State Ministry will find it difficult to pay civil servants’ salaries within the next few weeks, and as soon as the money in the Treasury is exhausted it is thought that Mr Lang will approach the Governor and request that Parliament be dissolved. Mr Lang has stopped the sale at post offices throughout New South Wales of duty stamps, stamped forms, and papers for promissory notes and other purposes, swine duty stamps, and unemployment relief stamps. His action is taken apparently under the mistaken belief that the revenue from the sale of the stamps would be retained at the post offices by the Commonwealth.
