Land Settlement.
ENCOURAGING REPORT. [By Telegraph.] (Per Prrss Association.) Wellington. Dec. 80. The Land Board to-day approved of the subdivision prices of an estate of 800 acres purchased by the Government under the Lands for Settlement Act, for the purpose of establishing workmen's homes at Johnsonville. It was stated that there had been many inquiries for land, and that as prices would be about £9 to £lO per acre a workman would iind it cheaper to purchase a house and land in the estate than to rent a house in Wellington. Some 50 men were now working on the estate. The rangers' reports upon the village settlements in the Makuri block were of a most encouraging nature.
