Referring to grants made by the Trust Lands Trust for educational building purposes, Mr. Alex Donald, speaking at a meeting last night, said he was against the policy of the Trust in giving money to .relieve the Government of legitimate expenditure. He held that it was entirely wrong to assist the Government to save money in legitimate building, as the saving was spent in other cbiiimuhities and Masterton was the loser, and the l Trust grant could be expended very well in the extension and development of education. Mr. O. H. Ei r .Yates, Principal of the Masterton Technical School, said the money, of the Trust should be spent in giving something to their schools in Masterton other schools did not possess.
