LAND FOR SETTLEMENT.
LARGE AREAS TAKEN UP AT
NELSON
By Telegraph - Press Association
NELSON, August 14
The settlement of the back country of Nelson, which was locked up for seventeen years under the Railway Act, is now progressing very satisfactorily. Thirty-five thousand acres in Central Buller, including Mid Marina, Rappa, Hanock, Warwick and Tutaki, are being thrown open for settlement. A ballot took pla?e at Murchison, to-day, in the presence of Mr Flanagan, the Commissioner of Crown Lands, and twenty-six thousand five hundred acres were taken up. The probabilities are that the balance will be secured in the course of a few days by those disappointed at the ballot. The applications for the various sections ranged in number from one to forty-eight. As well as Nelson applicants there were settlers from Taranaki, Hawke's Bay, Wellington, Marlborough, Canterbury snd Otago.
