Addressing a meeting at Tinui the other evening, Mr R. S. Hawkius referred to the land speculators thus : — "These men — who sit down on land, who do nothing to it, who keep improving settlers out — are the curse of every locality ; men who lie by watching for the moment when the industry and enterprise of others shall have opened up their laud and put its value at a premium to realise a profit they never earned."
