Tuis year's Budget has met with a favourable reception by the Un- official members of the Legislative Council. The Government's policy has been, in a word, "Caution," practically interpreted by maintain ing a $10,000,000 reserve and by extreme care in pushing on with public works involving heavy ax- penditure. This is to be neu- plished without further taxation and so remarkable an achievement tempers the sharp wind of criticism. When no fresh duties are proposed members of the Council seem to readiso more clearly that it is im- possible in one sentence to demand a little later to economy and clamour for this and that ontor- prise, innovation and development, unless they can put their fingers en neodless extravagance,
