THE LAND COMMISSION.
(Per Fress Association.) WAIAV, April 19. The Land Commissioners drove from Culverden to Waiau this morning, and inspected the Lyndon Nos. 1 and 2 and the Annan Settlements. They took evidence in the afternoon. Several Lyndon tenants complained that the rents were fixed too high, hut the majority were in favour of leasehold. Annan tenants were satisfied with the present tonditions, but complained of the non-construction of the promised road to the settlement. Another complaint made was that the settlements were loaded with the excessive cost of construction of expensive roads. Walter Rutherford, formerly a large land holder, favoured the lease-in-perpcluity system with periodic rc-valuations. The Commission returned to Culverden to-night, and will hear further evidence at Hawarden to-mor-row.
