FREEHOLD LAND.
OPPOSITION CEITICISM AND THE PACTS.
The Auckland "Star" stated in a recent editorial that "considerably over twenty million acres of good laud were held In largo blocks by European owners still undivided and unimproved." In actual iiict there was in tho Dominion on March 31, 1910, a. total area of 10,575,281 acres of freehold land, exclusive of land held by public bodies. Of this area 13,952,72!) acres aro held in blocks .ranging from five to 5000 ncres, and only 5,622,552 acres in larger blocks. In many cases blocks of from 1000 to 5000 acres are unsuitable for close subdivision owing to tho varying nature of the country.
