LAND ROARD AND SETTLERS. - ❖ One of the most gratifying features of the administration of Crown lands is the manner in which members of our Land Hoard.:- carry out their duties. The rapid spread of settlement., and the eon: .e<pi en t. great increase in the number o! Crown tenants

throughout flu' North 1: land ban rendered ;i position on tin- hoard no ninoowit. Of a)) the factor: - in the progress of tin' iV>minMiii tiic settlement of our idle lands must rank firal in import,anoi'. Moieover, flic policy of limiting the ;irr,i!', ami granting all possible assistance l a i-liable (lie poor man lo ( sfabi ish himsilt on the land is broadly recognised by all shades of polit ioians as On- •<ntiini<**f. basis upon which settlement ''an he carried out. In our dislnel v.o have evidence of (ho success of ila' linpriivcil Farm act (lenient syfloisi, and with the spread of tbi: , or similar a_\stems. the relation* bewtecu settler and board must he of the .-lopi st naiure. In tho interest of settlement. >( is right, that it, should hi> so. The hoard. moreover, is so constituted ihat whi'r guarding the interests- of the < Hiveriunent, it is endowed with wall discretionary powers in the matter of dealing with Crown tenants. To the credit of tho board lie it ihat those powers are invariably exorcised in the direction of "giving the trier a chance," and leigi t mate gruvaucos or caaeß of hardship, are nileviat.ed 'an far aa possible. The practice <>f holding country silt ing:■> from time to time ill order to meet the settlers on their own esound, ami become acquainted with local conditions in to be commended m every sense. In a great province such as Auckland, wnere settlement, is going mi m all directions the benefit •'! local knowledge jg incalculable. I lie hoard on occasions ifl arhiler o! the late nl many a f'OOd settler, and |>y possessing a knowledge of thi 1 conditions o( ny tion winch comes beleie tin ni can facilitate ihe work of g,,od .settlement, enormously. We trust our settlers will appreciate Ihe faeiiit.icn extended to them, and that the hoard will continue to be the great and good influence in set (lenient that it has been in the past.
