This year's Budget, as wo wrote on the day wo published it, was of inordinate length, and in common with other papers we wero obliged to cut it down considerably, The Budget as wired would have filled over fifteen columns of the Telegraph, so that much of the padding had to be deleted in order that room could be made for other news, In the hurry of reducing it, wo slashed out by accident a statement by the Treasurer that lie intended to ask authority for the raising of a loan of three-quarters of a million for public works. It would thus appear to , t he reader that the colony for the ensuing year would have 110 loan in any shape or form. This is not the case, as if the Loan Bill passes—and of course it will—the amount stated will bo at the disposal of the Oovtrnment for the pushing on of necessary public works, such as the Main Trunk Line and other undertakings that the Government are carrying out. The loan is not so big as we have hitherto had for the purpose, tho intention of the Treasurer being ovidently to borrow as little as possible at the present rate of interest. Thero is nothing to be gathered from the Statement as to whether the Home market is again to be approached or whether an ell'ort will be made to raise the money in the colonies, but in view of the success of the loan that was floated locally last year it is probable the latter course will be taken. Local bodies will not reap any bene. At, at least directly, from tho loan in question. As we stated 011 Wednesday, the Treasurer does not intend this year to raise money to lend out to local bodies, ( the reason being that money in too high-prio«d for

the purpose; but bo claims to havo enough in hand to meet all pressing needs. The announcement that no loans will be granted to local bodies for other than urgent works is an unfortunate set back to the desire ot the boroughs of the colony to municipalise local services, such as lighting. Until money is cheaper j the bankß or the open market are the only channel through which money can bc> raised, and either plan will bo found to bo more expensive iban borrowing from the Government. The Now Zealand Clothing Factory havo a l'oplaco advertisement on the front pago drawing attention to juvonilo clotlw ing. The Katiknti read for about ft mile beyond Athonroo is described to bo in such a stato of rami as >o prevent vohiclee proceeding other ibnn nia talking pace.
