The estate holds a large amount' valuable property in and around the City of Wellington. With the expansion of the city a number, of these properties are now in important shopping, warehouse and business areas, so that the purposes ffor •which they were once used have in a'number of instances completely changed. It i s therefore necessary from time to time to rebuild or. remodel antiquated or inadequate premises. During the year extensive alterati/ons and renovations , have hadvto.be made to another of, the estate properties in the centre; -of the city. The result i s that a Steady and satisfactory revenue is derived from this asset for many years' to come. In a number of< ' 6tiier' cases minor alterations have been made, all with a view of increasing the earning power of the properties concerned. The year's accounts show that the results achieved . justify the policy which is being pursued. . Following the usual procedure the Public Trustee inserted in the » newspapers advertisements inviting applications for grants; 133 applications, of which 14 were new ones, ' were received, as compared with ( 143 last year. No doubt the reduction in the number of, applications is due to the fact that certain < religious bodies have decided n|b£ to accept on behalf of institutions .under their control assistance from a trust a portion of the revenue of .which is derived from the liquor trade. His Excellency the GovernorGeneral, in stating that the pivst'it meeting of the Board of Governors wiould.be the last at which he would preside, congratulated the Public Trustee on the care and efficiency with which the Trust had been managed and carried out. His Excellency also expressed vhe gratitude Of the Board of Governors to the Advisory Committee and the Public Trustee flor the manner in which the applications had been submitted . lor consideration.
