UNEQUALISED CLOSER SETTLEMENT.
Statistics show that' Auckland is the province in which closer settlement is making tha most rapid headway in the Dominion. The last Government returns show that to the end of 1906 the increase of holdings in New Zealand of one acre and over for seven years was 9,552. The North Island increase represented 7,241 of this number, and the South Island 2,311. Auckland accounted for no less than 5,800 of this increase, or more than twice as much as the South Island, and more than tour times as much as the rest of the North Island. Auckland is, of course, a large province, but the discrepancy is very marked nevertheless, especially when the area of volcanic and infertile country in the North is taken into account.
