SOUTHLAND BUSH FIRES.
By Telegraph —Press Association. INVERCARGILL, Jan. 25. The scene of the bush fires was inspected, to-day, by Mr Hanan, M.H.R., Mr Hay, Commissioner of Crown Lands, and Mr Kinross, member of the Southland Land Board, with a view to ascertaining what could be done in the way of sowing down the burnt areas in grass. The Commission will report to the Government. A considerable amount of the affected area is freehold, and the settlers are already preparing to sow. A number of Government settlers, haying earned a living by working at the sawmills, will probably be obliged to surrender their holdings unless the mills resume working, which is problematical at present. Some oi the holdings are benefited by the fires, as clearing has been done which would have taken months of labour.
