Government Advances to Settlers
(Per Press Association.) Invercargill, March 26. At a meeting of the La,nd Board a solicitor made a suggestion that the Board should delegate its power to assent to a mortgage under the Advances to Settlers Act to the Chief Commissioner, in order to save time, the Board sitting only twice a month. The solicitor also pointed out there was a conflict between subsection 3, section 83, of the Land Act of 1892, and the seventh clause of the fourth schedule to the Advances to Settlers Act, the former providing that the power to sell should not arise till the expiration of one month after default, while the latter fixed the period at fourteen days. The Board resolved to call the attention of the Government to the discrepancy, and that instructions be aaked for as to which Act should govern its consent to mortgages.
