CROWN LAND TENANTS.
REVALUATION OF LEASES.
PERMANENT BOARD PROPOSED.
[BY TELEGRAPH. —PRESS ASSOCIATION.] NELSON. . Tuesday.
The Minister of Lands, Hon. A. D. McLeod, paid a visit to Tapawera yesterday, and met a large number of Crown tenants.
Referring to a petition from a number of Crown lessees, who said their rentals were too high, the Minister said it was his intention- to bring down legislation during the present session giving every Crown tenant the right of revaluation. With this end in view he proposed to set up a permanent' revaluation board, consisting of the Valuer-General, the Under-Secretary of Lands and the Land Purchase Controller.
Under the present Land Act a lessee has the right to a revaluation not earlier than three years or later than six years after the commencement of his lease. The Minister reiterated that it was the Government's policy to asisist the "trier" to the utmost limit allowed by the law. The meeting carried an enthusiastic vote of thanks to the Minister for his visit.
