Wellington, Last. Night

■muld be destroyed as soon as the land became lit for settlement, but thanks to Mr. W. 11. Field and one re two others the public mind departmental men bad come round to the idea that the (lax was an asset. T( was proposed that legislation should bo introduced this year to
ant 21 years’ leases, with the perpetual right to renewal, to [laxgrowers, with the possible provision for a very low rental in the initial stages when the flax was growing.
