OTOROHANGA TOWN SECTIONS.
To tho Editor. Sir, —I w«Hh to draw tho attention of the public to tho salo of town flections which took place hero on Tikirday, 3rd hint., and at which tho native owner played a prominent part in running up the price, l ! and jii novon?! cases buying them in, and an I believe, they bavo only to pay o ]»'>r cent, on their thny bavo got tho advantage ovory time. An tho Land Board is supposed to look: after the native intcrostH, I consider when tho hoard lino fixo.l tho upset price (which 1 have no doubt thoy think a fair value), then the owner ought to have done with tho matter. But when tho board ]-: iv fixed tho upset and allows tho owner to run up the price:* I conindor they «ro conniving to impose on tho public. If you look down the lii'i you will hoc they retained Homo of tho bent Hoctions, while tho gomtinn settler had to bo content with lht\ back nfvtu-tn I run, etc., ONE Ol' 1 THE VICTIMS.
