The Native Land Commission, in its reI port on the Waiapu County, says that Maori farming lias been made possible by the financial assistance provided, in most- cases on insufficient security, by the local storekeepers and the ..ettlers, notably, the Williams family, of Tuparoa and Waipiro. ■' '• They have put the Maoris on the way to- | wards improved methods of farming, and educated them in proper business methods of managing their stock and disposing of their produce to the beat advantage. The County Council have always been on the host terms 1 with tin- Maoris, who are rapidly recognising their responsibilities for the maintenance and construction of public works. We are ■ assured that with the settlement of the titles » of the papatupu areas a very great increase ; in the realisable assets of the local body will i result, and that within e short space of time , no land under Maori occupation will escape its proper liability for local rates." 1 Special purchase of mohair mats:- To clear, I 2e lid.— and Caughey.
