NEW BILLS.

A VARI SUBJECTS. Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, Oct. 3. In the House to-day, notice of liis intention to introduce the Invalid Pensions Bill was given by Mr J. O’Brien. On the motion of Mr H. G. R. Mason, leave was given to introduce the National Credits and Currency Bill. Rev. C. Carr moved for leave to introduce the Orders-in-Council Confirmation Bill. Mr Carr said the Bill was similar to the one he introduced last session. It provided that th? House should have an opportunity of confirming, or otherwise, Orders-in-Council. All recognised the necessity for Orders-in-Council, but some safeguard should be provided in matters of this kind. The system was open to abuse, and he thought it was time that that opening should be closed. The Bill was read the first time. The Wellington City Empowering and Special Rates Consolidation Amendment Bill was introduced on the motion of Mr Chapman. The measure was read the first time and referred to the Local Bills Committee. On the motion of Mr P. Fraser the Wellington City Milk Supply Amendment Bill was introduced, read the first time, and referred to the Local Bills Committee. Mr C. H. Chapman gave notice to ask the Minister in Charge of the Valuation Department whether lie would relieve the Valuer-General of other duties so that the revaluation of Wellington City might be undertaken without delay and completed this financial year. Introducing the Licensing Amendment Bill, Mr F. Langstone said that at the present time the newspapers published within no-license or proclaimed areas were not permitted to print liquor advertisements, whereas there was no restriction on the circulation within such areas of newspapers published outside the areas and containing liquor advertisements. This was unfair and he urged that news- . papers within such areas should be, ; allowed to publish liquor advertisements. i
