THE LAND BILL.
Tho Land Bill has passed the Legislative Council with certain minor amendments, and there is no doubt now of its appearance upon the Statute Book. The measure/though not as perfect as some would desire, is one of the most important legislative enactments that have passed the Legislature in recent years. The provision made against aggregation is in itself a step forward, while the non-residential clause will be welcomed by hundreds of town residents who have sons qualifying to go upon the land. So far as the breaking-up of large estates is concerned, we have previously stated that we do not consider that the measure will be effective. However, we are prepared to wait and see, and if the results should falsify our predictions, none will be more pleased than ourselves. Taken a 3 a whole, the land legislation. of the. present Government is of a distinctly . progressi ve, and Liberal character, :tf> secure the better and more 'speedy development, of our rural resources. ■
