TE WERA CROWN LAND
INSPECTION BY MINISTER.
By Telegraph.—Press Association.
Gisborne, February 25. The Minister of Lands (the Hon. G. W. Forbes), last week inspected the Te Wera block, a Reform Government acquisition, which was the cause of much comment. Mr. Forbes was greatly impressed with the locality of the block and the condition of the land and stock. Before being again thrown open for selection the access roads will be completed. It was reported to the Minister that since the withdrawal of the block a number of applications from intending settlers had been received. An area of 9285 acres is now carrying 10,000 sheep and 1200 cattle.
