NATIVE LANDS COMMISSION.
By Telegraph—Press Association. NAPIER, March 4. The Native Lands Commission met the native owners of the Tutira Block at the Tangoio (Schoolhouse to-day. Between 30 and 40 natives were in attendance as well as the present lessee of the block. Some of the leading natives on behalf of the others expressed themselves with regard to the half of the block, the lease of which had lapsed. They said that the natives desired to farm a portion and lease the rest. Under the conditions of the present lease the natives have a reserve at the south-east corner of the block, and some of the natives wished to change the location of the reserve to a site at the head of the Tutira Lake, and near a flaxmill. This proposed change was objected to by the lessees, as it would cut into their leasehold and prejudice the working of it. The Commission decided to visit the land, and see for themselves where the reserve can be advantageously located. The Commissioners will proceed to Mohaka to-mor-row.
