GOLDSMITH, Local Hon. Treasurer. Moutoa Estate. » - • STATEMENT BY THE MAYOR OF FOXTON. In an interview with the Mayor of Foxton, Mr Alt' Fraser, a Poet representative was furnished with some particulars of the Moutoa Estate, of which Mr Fraser is clerk. Mr Fraser said— "The cutting uip of the Moutoa Estate has considerably assisted development. In 1903 it was purchased'from the Assets Realisation Board by Messrs John Stevens, Easton and Austin, who had it surveyed and offered at auction. Practically the whole of the land tit for dairying has been sold,, and only the flax areas, aibout 4000 acres, remain. Various mills cut the flax on these areas, and pay royalties which Averaged from 3e to £1 per ton, and have not been excessive. The estate was originally about 9000 acres. Twentythree different owners, occupying the 5000 acres which were sold, bought from 9J acres up to 1000 acres, but 1 understand that tlie 1000-acre holding has since been resold and cut up. The prices obtained by the syndicate at the original sale ranged from £10 an acre. Three creameries are now supplied by the settlers on the Moutoa Estate, and many sheep and cattle are grazing ■there. There are two large estates surrounding Foxtotn, one of which is th 7 e Himitangi block of Maori land, the cutting up of whicK would greatly assist our advancement, particularly as there seems to be a demand for land hereabouts."
