THREATENED BY ROTORUA COUNTY COUNCIL OYER WEEDS. Drastic action is foreshadowed in ' a resolution passecl by the Rotorua County Council at its meeting yesteruay in the case ox native lands leased | to Europeans upon which noxious weeds are allowed to run riot. The county chairman advocated the council exercising the provisions of the Act which allowed the council to sell up native lands upon which liens had been lodged but not yet satisfied. Councillor A. L. Keith said that the council wished to give the natives a fair go, but it was not a fair thing that where a struggling European was trying to keep a plaee clean he should be surrounded by hotbeds of noxious weeds owned by Maoris.
