“The cheapest land of the Dominion is to be bought in Westland.” was the comment of a visitor to the West Coast. When in Hokitika he urged closer settlement in Westland, and the cutting up or leasing of some of the larger held areas. An unusual “windfall” is reported by the Manawatu “Times” in connection with the proceedings in a Dannevirke bankruptcy case. The bankrupt is said to have obtained from his creditors a delay of three months in the proceedings as he has just received advice of the fact that £2500 will be his cash share in an invention for an improvement in milking-machine plants.
