NOT SATISFIED.
LETTERS TO MELBOURNE.
Bj telegraph, PmmAh’K* Coftyrifhf Melbourne, June 8. The Minister of Lands has received a letter from a New Zealand resident asking particulars of land open for selection. The writer says : “ You may wonder at this communication coming from a New Zealander, but land is not easy to acquire here from the Government by ballot, owing to people in all walks of life going into it as a speculation, making the chances of a bona fide settler very small." A letter from another New Zealander was received, aekmg for work. The writer says he is out of work, and adds that even if he oould get a permanent billet in New Zealand the cost of living was so high 1 that it was difficult to make ends meet.
