CLOSER SETTLEMENT.
The Government’s Land Purchase Commissioner has been to Levin this week, and has inspected certain lands in connection with closer settlement. The laud lies along the Ohau river, says today’s Times. There are about 830 acres of Government land in this vicinity, and it is anticipated that another 3000 contiguous acres now piivately held, will be acquired. This news has caused much satisfaction in the district, because in the past many unsuccessful attempts have been made to have the laud acquired by Government. The local bodies have lost no opportunity of keeping the question of closer settlement belore the Government, feeling that the development of the town in the future will be largely influenced by cutting up the laud. The area near Ohau is especially fertile and well watered, and with the cutting up of the Buller estate the prospects for Levin as the principal town between Wellington and Palmerston North are encouraging.
