LAND SETTLEMENT
« THE HOMESTEAD SYSTEM. By Telegrapn—Press Association. Auckland, January f!. The inauguration of a land 8011407110111 under the homestead system not far north of Aucklafllt'is an early possibility. The Minister of (Hon. D. 11. . Guthrie) paid a visit of inspection to a block of 1-1,000 acres between Swanson and Helensville, which has been marked down as a likely area for tho purpose. As a result of his inspection, the Minister is satisfied that the land is well adapted for settlement on the new system. It is practically certain that as soon as the preliminaries have been completed a start will be made with this block, and the first experiment under the new system will be inaugurated; The land has been subdivided, but the areas into which it has been cut are not altogether suitable for the purpose. Another subdivision scheme will therefore be devised. This and other matters will have to lie considered by the Minister and officials of the Lands Department, but once this business has been completed the present intention is to prosecute the scheme vigorously. It is also hoped that a similar scheme will be inaugurated before long in the south Auckland district.
