NATIVE LAND LEGISLATION.
(By Telegraph— Parliamentary Correspondent.) WELLINGTON, Thursday. In the House,- yesterday, Mr A. W. Hog<?, member for Masterton, asked the Native Minister whether it is proposed without further delay to introduce legislation that will have the effect of preventing private deal • ings with Native landowners, and insure that no further leases of Native reserves by which valuable tracts of country are being locked up against proper settlement, will be authorised, also, if it is intended to devise some metho:! by which local bodies, now baffled in their efforts to collect rates from Native lands owing to the difficulty of discovering the owners whose names appear on the rate-rolls, may be enabled to recover the amounts owing? The Minister, in reply, said:— Legislation will he introduced this session dealing with the future disposition of Native lands. The collection of rates on Native lands is al - ways a troublesome matter, but as increased facilities are given for the settlement of these lands, the difficulty will correspondingly disappear.
