MAORI LAND AT TAUPO
Crown Offers Refused (N 2 Press Association) ROTORUA, April 27. Two offers by the Crown to buy from Maori owners six blocks of land at Waihaha, totalling 8000 acres, near Western Bay, Taupo, for £9OOO have been rejected by the Maori owners. Meeting in Rotorua today the owners turned down the first offer to sell outright and another offer in which the Crown gave an assurance that an equivalent area of developed land would be made available for settlement by qualified Maoris approved by the Board of Maori Affairs as suitable for settlement. The Maoris recommended that the land be developed by the Lands Department with the right reserved to the owners to nominate the settlers. The land is near large Lands Department development schemes.
