[No. 52
Difficulties have arisen in applying the Military Pensions Act to South African service, and several cases of undoubted hardship have occurred which, in the opinion of my Ministers, should be provided for by an amending measure.
The timber industry is active, but, to insure its permanency, further provision should be made for tree-planting and forest-conservation.
Further provision is equally necessary for the roading of the lands to open up back blocks and assist settlement. Several estates have been acquired under the Land for Settlements Acts, and are being satisfactorily disposed of, and it is the anxious desire of my Advisers to do all in their power to make settlement a success.
Proposals on these subjects will be submitted to you, and in addition you will be asked to deal with measures relating to mining matters, the public health, the protection of young persons, company-law, and other subjects affecting the social and industrial welfare of the community.
Commending the proposals of my Ministers to your earnest attention, I pray that, with the blessing of Almighty God, the results of your labours may be for the good of the Empire, and of lasting benefit to the people of New Zealand.
By Authority: JOHN MACKAY, Government Printer, Wellington.
