He pointed out that last year there were 2.419 applications v "for land in the Wellington land district, and the total number supplied with land was 328, Other questions were dealt with on the same lines aa at Eketahuna. A hearty vote of thanks was accorded to the candidate on the motion of Mr Bruce.
