POSSIBILITIES OF BAY OF PLENTY.
NATIVE LAND DIFFICULTY. [8X TCX.COBAPH — SPECIAL TO TIIE POST.) AUCKLAND, This Day. The potentialitiei of the Bay of Plouty district are warmly commented upon by Mr. E. Newman, M.P. for Manawatu, who has just been on a- visit to Katikahi and other East Coast towns. Mr. Newman was a settler mi the Bay of Plenty district thirty Tears ago, and he says what appealed to him most strongly was the fact that comparatively little progress has been made during that period towards settling the native land difficulty, which is ju>t as acute now as it was a quarter of a century ago. "Perhaps/ says Mr. Newman, "after the railway now being pushed through is fairly 'ocated, and the land thus increased in %nlu% the Government will proceed to acquire blocks for «etticment. 1 think, however that the lands should be settled first, and the proceeds paid mUi the hand* of the Public Triute* fot tho benefit of the owners until the question of individual titJes is determined.'
