LAND AGGREGATION
A STATEMENT REFUTED. A question about land aggregation was asked in the House by Mr E. Newman (Manawatu), who inquired wdiether the attention of the Minister of Lands had been drawn to a statement that aggregation had been proceeding in the Rangitikei district. As the process of subdivision had been going on without interruption in the locality mentioned, he regarded the statement as contrary to fact. What he had said of Rangitikei applied also to Manawatu. The Minister of Lands (Hon. D. H. Guthrie) said he concurred entirely in what Mr Newman had stated. Alleged cases of aggregation had been reported to him from Rangitikei, the reports had been investigated, and it had been found that the cases were not such as the Government or anyone else could intervene in . The large estates in Manawatu and Rangitikei were fast disappearing, and were being settled in small areas. Wherever a case of aggregation of the sort spoken of by the paper was reported to him, he would have the matter fully investigated, and if it was possible for the Government to act it would act without delay.
