NATIVE LANDS.
THE FREEHOLD DESIRED. By Telegraph—Pres3 Association. WELLINGTON, September 28. A deputation consist!! g of representatives of the Waitomo County Council ami the native townships of Taumarunui, Oiorohanga, and Te Kuiti waited on the Native Minister to-day to ventilate certain grievances. The chief requests were that greater facilities should be afforded the disposal of freehold of sections in such townships where the native owner was willing to sell; that the area of the townships should be increased and that they 'should be placed on a footing which would enable a proper system of local government to be carried out. Mr Carroll agreed that the time had arrived when changes in the system of native townships were necessary and the Government intended to bring all such townships under one Act. All of them would be brought under the provision** of the Native Land Laws Amendment Act and all lease* would be for 21 years, with the right of renewal and valuation for improvements. Greater facilities would, also, be provided for the sale of the freehold.
