LAND TENURE
Sin, —I hope tho Libera! members of tho Borough Council and llio workers of Waihi will strongly opposo tho motion boforo tbo Counoil to alter tho prosont loasohold to that of another kind, This increase in area to 1J acros and reduction of conditions will iiinko it possiblo for tho land grubber to fleeco tho poople of Waihi, The conditions prevailing preycut this, and as this town is probably progressing faster than any other in tho colony, I think tho councillors should let woll alono, Tho presonl tenure has caused tho town to spread rapidly and has givon decontsizsd seotionß to everyone for a vory small junii It is also the best both for the poople and tho country, for had tho QovormuQiit leased the wholo of tho town sections throughout tho colony, instoad of selling to speculators for a nominal sum, tho towns would bo twice the size thoy are at present, and thousands of pouudi would bo fjoing into tho revenue insload of tho pockets of a grout many living in idlcnoss and luxury on tho ncoossitios of tho producors.—l am, etc, Pro Bono. Puiilico,
