Protest Against Closer Settlement
[Special to "Northern Advocate ” 3 WELLINGTON, This Day. The Prime Minister, Mr Savage, yesterday s'aid: “People usually do not make a noise about closer settlement as a result of Government action.” He was commenting on a meeting held at Ohau to protest against the proposal of the Government to acquire a large block of land in the Kuku area on which to settle market gardeners from the Hutt Valley who will be dispossessed of their holdings by reason of the Government’s plan for housing and industrial development in the valley. The Prime Minister said the proposal was to place 500 people where about a fifth of that number lived at present, and the Government did not intend to do anyone an injustice in the process.
