By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, Last Night. The House of Representatives dealt with private, methbere’ Bills-to-night, when the Distress and Replevin Amendment (Mr. P. Fraser), the Deaths by Accident Compensation Amendment Number 2 (Mr. W. D. Stewart), the Deaths by Accident Compensation Amendment (Mr. H. G. R. Mason) and the Divorce and Matrimonial Causes Amendment Bill (Mr. Mason) were all read a second time pro forma and referred to she Statutes Revision Committee. Mr. W. D. Lysnar, (Ind., Gisborne) w greeted with applause when he rose to move the second reading of the Meat Export Control Amendment Bill. He said he did not intend to deal with the substance of the Bill very fully because members were by now" aware of its purpose. He hoped it would be given a rapid passage through the House. . He considered it should have been placed on the Statute Book during, an earlier session of the present Parliament. The Bill would alfer the method of electng the Control Board and would cancel the appointment \ of the Government nominees, who under the present law were appointed for all time. The Bill would also remove'’ the commercial representative. There was no justification for a commercial representative on the board. Mr. F. Waite (Reform, Clutha): Is he an undesirable? Mr. Lysnar: Yes, and I think that is ope reason for.the board not functioning properly. . . Mr. Lysnar was interrupted by the rising of the House at 10.30 p.m. till to-morrow.
