PICKED OUT THE EYES.
0 - - K.i fßi Ttlecraph. — Si-koial to The Post.l AUCKLAND, This Day., Some time ago Maraaku. settlers asked the Auckland Land -Board for the option to take up a portion of the Selwyn'Es* tate as a cattfo sanatorium. A spetiall Act was passed to meet' their wishes,, and after the department .had^, gone ta tho expense of sub-dividing, 'a" ballot! was taken amongst the settlers.. It now appears that thoso who. drew 'good] sections are willing to retain them.l'buti that those who drew rougher ', sections will nob .take them up. The '"mattes was yesterday before the Land Board, which took the view that it was unfai* to let the settlers take the eyes oubj of the block in question, and leave tin* poorer sections to tho board to^deal with. A resolution was consequently carried to cancel the rignts to leases in the case of applications where,. sejidera •have declined to complete,- or -havo, failed to reply, and to re-open 'the-' land under the ordinary land for settlement conditions. It transpired that the settlers inspected and' approved the- land before the board opened it.
