LAND SETTLEMENT.
[by telegraph—own correspondent.! Auckland, Monday. Thk Minister of Lands received a deputation of unemployed to-day. Ho suggested the postponement of tho discussion until tomorrow, when tho Charitable Aid Board deputation will wait upon him. He predicts an immediate and sharp demand for labour, as the result of increased land settlement, and says this is already the case in Taranaki and Wellington, where tho prices of the Government road contracts have increased in consequence of the demand for labour. During the last three months more land has been taken up in Auckland than during the preceding twelve months. At the same time the survey staff is glaringly insufficient to meet the strain placed upon it, and there are numbers of people in Auckland waiting for land.
