MORE MOKAU.
MR NEWMAN ASKS A QUESTION. Mr Newman, member for Manawatu, has given notice to ask the Acting-Minister for Dands (Mr Buddo) whether he will consider the expediency of resuming for the purposes of closer settlement that block of land known as the Mokau Block, containing 50,000 acres, the freehold of which was recently sold by the Natives at xos qd per acre to a private individual with the consent of the Government ? In support ol this suggestion, Mr Newman submits that in view ol the extremely low price paid for the land in question when compared with recent values paid by the Government under the Dand for Settlements Acts, the Government should have been able to dispose of the block referred to on terms unusually advantageous to small settlers.
