Sir Joseph Ward has received a message from Sir John See, Premier of New South Wales, who has been recruiting his health at Rotorua for some weeks past, thanking him for the kindness and courtesy he had received during his stay in the colony. In particular, he wished to thank the officials of the Tourist Department for tiie attention paid him when at Rotorua. Sir John left Auckland for Sydney on Monday. The Paremata block —some 7000 acres of the native land on the East Coast, held in trust by the Hon James Carroll and Wi Pere is to be thrown open for close settlement at an early date. The block is on the coast near Tolago Bay, some thirty-six miles from Gisborne. The land is being opened up under the provisions of the East Coast Native Trust Lands Act, 1902.
