WEST COAST SETTLEMENT RESERVES LEASES.

Below we print tbe names of the successful tenderers for leases of reserves offered by the Public Trustee under the West Coast Settlement Reserves Act of last session. It will be seen that the land has gone off exceedingly well, nearly tbe whole of it being taken up, and extremely successful settlement is likely to result. Of 54 lots offered, only ten remain* The upset prices have been largely exceeded in a great many instances. The numbers ot lots are given consecutively and the Bection and block can easily be ascertained by referring baok to the advertisement which appeared in our columns. Tbe lots not tendered for, viz., 14, 20, 21, 23, 24, 25, 34, 36, 40, and 46, will, we understand, probably be applied for at once at tbe upsets.

(PER PRESS ASSOCIATION.) WELLINGTON, May 6. Tbe Pnblio Trustee, acting under the West Coast Settlement Reserves Act of last 6eßßion, offered 54 lots of land, comprising 13,000 acres of bush lands in various parts of Taranaki, tot lease by public tender.

About 60 families will settle on tbe 13,000 acres ; and, encouraged by his success, the Publio Trustee is pushing on surveys to enable him co offer further blocks in a few months. Tbe natives interested have given their hearty cooperation.
