WHEREAS it is desirable that settlement upon the Rural Lands of 'this.Province, both within and exterior to the boundaries of its Goldfields, should be promoted, and that means should be provided for the beneficial employment of labor in the construction of such Public Works as are calculated to facilitate the development of its resources : And whereas that portion of the law now in force for regulating the sale of Rural Lands within the Province* entitled " The Otago Waste Lands Act (No. 2), 1863," whereby a tax of 2s. per acre, commencing from the day of purchase, and payable annually, is imposed upon all Rural Land purchased on and after the day on which such Act came into force, is calculated to retard the settlement of the country, its operation having already resulted in an almost' total cessation of the sale of Rural Land throughout the Province.
