Suburban Land for Settlement.
(Per Press Association). Christchurch, This Day. The Minister for Lands arrived from Wellington yesterday morning and left for the south by the express train. "While in Christchurch he was waited on by Mr W. W. Collins, M.H.R., who represented the desirableness of a block of land at Woolston, which had been purchased for settlement purposes, being thrown open for selection as early us possible, and also the advisableness of other blocks near town being obtained for the same purpose. The Minister said that tbe block already secured would be opened to application in July, and the Land Purchase Commissioners ■would visit Canterbury in about a week's time to make selections from other blocks under offer. Government would be quite willing to go to tbe extent of acquiring 300 acres in the vicinity of Christchurch, and if those were advantageously taken up Government would be encouraged to make still further purchases of land for settlement in the neighborhood.
