The Wairarapa Daily. SATURDAY, MAY 6, 1882. IMPROVEMENTS TO TRUST LANDS.

Last evening a preliminary discussion took place at the Masterton Town Lands meeting at the instance of Mr Gappeu in favor of substituting more equitable and intelligent building regulations in future leases of Trust Lands. We were glad to notice that the proposal seemed to commend itself to the Trustees, the only objection raised against it being the suggestion that it would place future tenants under the Trust in a better position thau former ones. This is a difficulty which might be obviated very readily with advantage to both old tenants and to the Trust, If the Trustees defined certain conditions by which they protected a lessee from forfeiture of his improvements, they might say to any existing tenant—" if you are dissatisfied with your present lease and are willing to surrender it, we will give you a fresh lease of twenty-one years under the new conditions provided that you pay suck increased rental as a fair valuation will now indicate to be an equivalent for the additional advantages which you will secure." If this were done many of the existing tenants would at once place themselves under new leases in order to be able to spend money with safety in the improvements of their properties, and the TruH would at once havo a large and substantial increase of revenue. Such an arrangement would be for the benefit of the Trust as landlords, for the benefit of tenants who desire to improve their holdings, and for the benefit of the town. Is may be said that the principle was fairly admitted at the late meeting and we trust that at the next one a sub-committee will be appointed—list, to draft general conditions on which all future lands belonging to the Trust shall be let, and (2nd) to report the conditions upon which old leares may be surrendered by tenants who desired to place themselves under the new and improved, mode of leasing. We anticipate that the practical issue of such a movement would be a rapid development of the annual income of the Trust and the erecting of a number of substantial tenements which would be ornaments to the town, and which cannot possibly be erected under the old leases.

The result of the poll yesterday for the Masterton Library loan was ayes, 120; noes, 8.
