At the meeting of the Westland Land Board yesterday afternoon, considerable time was taken up in the hearing of an application by J.T. Hallahan for the transfer of a section of 166 acres at Wataroa to F. P. Butler, Mr Mm (loch appeared lor the applicants, and addressed the Board at considerable length and evidence was given by K. I\ Butler on his own behalf. He stated that he proposed going into partnership with His brother to work this area together with an area held by bis brother and 100 acres they were leasing from their father; and that they proposed to go in for dairying to supply the Wataroa dairy factory; that it was absolutely incorrect that their father was financing them in any way. The area held by his brother was that formerlv also held by Hnllalian, that was created into a freehold, The members of the Board then gave their personal views. Mr Clayton said ho was not in favour of granting the transfer. It would he in the best interests of South Westland to refuse the application. The Commissioner said the man had enough land without- this area, and that he did not approve of the transfer. Mr Ward m : -1 in view of tho fact that the transferee was a returned soldier and that he could have come to the Board and asked for a loan of £9,500. whereas he had not done so, and in view of his sworn statements that he was acting independently of his father and that it was his intention to in for supplying the dairy factory, he could not vote against the transfer going through. Air Houliston said he had not changed liis opinion that the transferee had sufficient- land. The Chairman’s motion that the application for transfer he refused was then <put and carried. Messrs Houliston. Clayton and the Chairman voting aye and Messrs Ward and Mallinson against. Mr Murdoch then intimated the intention to appeal to the Supreme Court against the decision. “NO RUBBING” Laundry Help is quite the life of the grocery trade just now. the demand being so heavy.
