At the present time there are several thousands of acres of grazing land tied up as reserves in the Ilauraki Peninsula adjacent to Thames.

Graham) and the Conservator of Forests (Mr. Campbell) met the representatives of the Thames Borough and County, Chamber of Commerce, Ilauraki Plains County, and the Land Setltement Committee.
The commissioner gave a sympathetic hearing to the conference and expressed his pleasure at the interest displayed.
At the conclusion of the conference, Mr. Graham said he would give the request his earnest consideration.
