LAND FOR SOLDIERS.
MINISTER'S VISIT OF INSPECTION.
By Telegraph.—Press Association,
Timaru, Jan. 28. Yesterday, Hon. D. H. Guthrie visited the soldiers' settlement at Clayton and received a deputation there, which suggested the purchase of the remainder of Clayton for soldiers. It was intimated that the owner was willing to negotiate if the land was needed for soldiers. A deputation at Fairlie recommended the purchase of 300 acres (three farms) near Fairlie for closer settlement. The Minister inspected the laud this morning and considered the request sympathetically. Another deputation urged that one or two runs in the Mackenzie couutry, whose leases were nearly up, should be disposed of in small runs.
This morning Mr Guthrie inspected the Cricklcwood soldier settlement and gave the engineer a note to report on the possibility of getting a water supply.
