AN EXTENSIVE RECLAMATION SCHEME.
A Home Syndicate is negotiating with the Waimea County Council, Nelson, for the reclamation of the mud flats which are vested in tbe Council as an endowment. Provided satisfactory arrangements can be made, the Syndicate will undertake the reclamation of the eastern and western portion* of the mud flats—an area of about
12,000 acres, including the Rabbit and other islands. Plans of the proposed work, prepared by Mr Ciimie, are known to be in existence, and these are now being hunted up. Mr Climie's estimate of the cost of the work was about £5 an. acre. It is understood that the idea is to reclaim the area for use as grassing land.
