NATIVE LAND SETTLEMENT.
The settlement of native land during the past year has been up to the average. Since the coming into operation of the Act of 1909 the average of native land alienated either by purchase or lease has been about 500.000 acres a year. A Bill extensively amending "the 1909 Act in the direction of giving increased facilities for settlement of the remaining surplus native land?, while duly conserving the interests of the natives, will be introduced shortly. The important question of rating native lands is under consideration, and a Bill is in preparation which will make the collection of rates by the local bodies easier.
