TE ARAI ESTATE.
[BY TELEGRAPH. —OWN' CORRESPONDENT.] Gisbornk, Friday. The settlers amongst whom the Te Arai Estate has been apportioned appear to be making the most of the present spell of favourable weather, and a steady stream of drays and waggons conveying fencing and building material may be observed making in tne direction. The settlement has been visited by the Commissioner of Crown Lands (Mr. H. Trent), who was pleased to note that the setti&rs were in nearly every instance getting on with their fencing, and some also had their building materials on the ground. _ A deputation waited upon the Commissioner, and requested that section 21, Block V. (39J acres), should be set aside for a public domain. The matter is now under consideration. The roads were found to be in fairly good order after the present dry spell, but it is intended by the Commissioner to have temporary repairs effected, and thus enable the settlers to use the road for the conveyance of their materials.
