SOLDIER SETTLERS.
APPOINTMENT RESENTED. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Dunedin, Last Night. A further telegram in regard to the appointment of Mr. T. Carruthers to the Otago Land Revision Board has been forwarded to the Minister of Lands (the Hon. D. H. Guthrie) by the secretary of the Dunedin R.S.A., in response to the Minister’s last wire, which set out that there was no reason to alter the decision to appoint Mr. Carruthers. The telegram which has been despatched to the Minister reads as follows: "The Dunedin R.S.A. strongly opposes Mr. Carruthers’ appointment and considers his connection with the Poplar Grove estate, which you admit disqualfies him from pronouncing on that purchase, should have prevented his appointment at all. How can he give a verdict on the other purchases, even had he not been conncted with Poplar Grove ? His possession of the necessary experience is questioned. We do not ask for the appointment of a returned soldier nominee, but only of a disinterested and experienced person.”
