OUR NATIVE TIMBER.
Destroying an Asset. Press Association. Giscobne, April 15. The question of enforcing the clearing of land containing valuable timber came before the Land Board to-day. The owners of a section at Motu asked to be exempted from the improvement clauses of the Act so that the timber could be preserved. Mr Kensington’s estimate was that there was 110,COO feet of timber to the acre. The applicants claimed that by holding the limber it would be of great benefit to the railway as well as to themselves. The Commissioner said it opened up a big question as they might expect other like applications. After consideration the matter was deferred to be dealt with at next meeting of the Board in Napier.
