After the conclusion of business at the Southland Land Board meeting on Thursday Mr Duncan King said that it would he the last occasion on which Mr Kinross would appear as a member of the Board. He moved: "That this Board wishes to place on record i:s high appreciation of the long and faithiul services rendered It.v Mr Kinross as a member of this Board for the last liS years, and expresses its dee]) regret at his retirement." Mr H. M. Skeet said that during the two years that he had been chairman of the Board be had always appreciated Mr Kinross, whose sympathies were invariably on the side of the small settler. Mr Kinross had been in Southland for -IS years and had consistently interested himself in the land question. Mr Kinross had been instrumental in the old provincial days in materially assisting in the bringing down of the deferred payment land system. He was leaving the Board on his own initiative, and members regretted his having decided to do so. On behalf of the members and the secretary of the Board Mr Skeet then presented Mr Kinross with a Morris chair as a slight token of the regard in which he was hold by them. Mr Kinross feelingly thanked the members of the Board tor their kind remarks, and also tor the present they had given him, which had taken him entirely by surprise.
