The Messrs Gano were in attendance at the meeting of the Waste Lauds Board.

(£>.) The block to be •surveyed and subdivided into 18 sections of 100 acres each, and a map thereof provided at the expense of the Colonial Government, fc.) Price of the land to bo 1200 acres at £l, and 600 acres at £2_ 10s per acre, payable as hereinafter provided. (d.) The sum of £OOO shall be expended by applicants in the construction of a road, such expenditure to be under the control of the Board.” Then follow particulars and conditions proposed to ensure the carrying out of the scheme.
