SETTLING THE LAND
THE HOMESTEAD SYSTEM. EXPERIMENT NEAR AUCKLANEt By Telegraph.—Press Association. Auckland, Last Night. The inauguration of land settlement under the homestead system not far north of Auckland is an early possibility. The Minister for Lands (Mr. Guthrie) paid a visit of inspection to a block of 14,000 acres between Swanson and Helensville, which has been marked down as a likely area for the purpose, and as a result of the inspection the Minister is satisfied that the land is well adapted for settlement on the' new system. It is practically certain that as soon as the preliminaries have been completed a start will be made with this block, and the first experiment under the new system will be inaugurated. The land has been subdivided, but the areas into which it has been cut are not altogether suitable for the purpose. Another subdivision scheme will, therefore, be devised. This and other matters will have to be considered by the Minister and officials of the Lands Department, but once this business has been completed the present intention ie to prosecute the scheme vigorously. It is also hoped that a similar scheme will be inaugurated before long in the South Auckland district.
