ACQUISITION OF ESTATES.
By Telegraph—Parliamentary I Correspondent. WELLINGTON, Wednesday. In the House, this afternoon, the Minister of Lands, in reply to a ques'tion, stated that the Government was alive to the requirements of the people in the matter of the acquisition of estates under the Land for Settlements Act suitable for close settlement, and also in respect to the opening up of Crown land. It was, however, impossible for Crown lands to be made available more expeditiously than at present, as already 700,000 acres of rural land were under survey, and 236,000 acres of native land were being surveyed by the Lands Department for Maori Land Boards for settlement purposes.
