LANDS FOR SETTLEMENT.
LETTERS FROM NEW ZEALANDERS. DIFFICULTY OF SECURING HOLDINGS. HIGH COST~I)F LIVING. [press association.] (Received June 8, 10.25 a.m.) MELBOURNE, June 8. The Minister for Lands has received a letter from a New Zealand resident asking for particulars of land open for selection. He says: "You may wonder at a communication coming from New Zealand, but land is not easy to acquire here from the Government by ballot owing to people in all walks of life going into speculation, and making the chances of a bona fide settler very small." In a letter from another New Zealander asking for work, the writer says, " Out of work; even if I get a permanent billet in New Zealand the cost of living is so high that it is difficult to make ends meet."
