MAORI LAND SETTLEMENT.
The Maori Land Settlement Act Amendment Bill, which was introduced by the Native Minister this week, is a short measure of three clauses. Clause 2 provides that for the purpose of providing funds for the acquisition of land under the " Maori Land Settlement Act, 1905," the Colonial Treasurer may, upon being authorised by Order-in-Council, raise a further sum of £50,000 in addition to the £200,000 for which authority is given under the principal Act, (The annual report Qf the Native Land Purchase Department, recently presented to Parliament, stated that the balance of money, available for the current year out of the sum already authorised, was £96,574.) Clause 3of the Bill reads : ".Notwithstanding anything in the principal Act to the contrary, the Government may, from time to time, acquire, under the provisions of that act, any undivided interest owned by a Maori in any land owned by Maoris, and may pay for the same, notwithstanding that the other undivided interests in the same land have not been acquired or paid for."
