Dissatisfied Cheviot Settlers.

Christchurch, May 11. A meeting of twenty five settlers was held at the Cheviot last night to (consider what steps should he taken to 'obtain reductions in the rent now (paid. The chairman said they had I just ground for asking for a concession of rents, and the Government must ■recognise it, though they had not I admitted it. It was impossible for the 'settlers to carry on with the present I price of produce, and it would be hard iif after spending their capital on improvements, they should be turned out to make room for others. Another speaker said the wool they had obtained per sheep had not paid for the ; sheep, let alone the rent. A resolution was carried that a committee be formed Ito draw up a series of resolutions, including a proposal that the Government be asked to remit the next halfyear’s rent. Mr D. Brick spoke at length against any attempt to censure the Government or injure them in the eyes of the country. He moved in effect that it was premature to arrive at any decision until they had ascertained what the Government intended to do as regards the next half-year’s rent, and to find out whether they would give part of the £50,000 spent last year when the unemployed were foisted on them, or supplement it with £50,000 more to finish the roads in the country. The amendment was put and lost, and the original motion carried without dissent.

If it is laden with poisonous matter it spreads disease on its course.
