WELLINGTON LAND BOARD

At tho Wellington Land Board meeting, Mr R. 11. Carter asked that Mr J. B. Pringle bo allowed to transfer bis application for Section 11a, Block 2, Pohangina, to him. The Board decided to tell Mr Carter they had no power to do so. Mr Pringle’s application was approved, providing he pays tho necessary deposit and valuation for the timber within seven days. It was decided to grant Mr J. Shears permission to use tho clay on tho metal reserve at Taihapo for brickmaking purposes, on conditions suggested by the engineer.

Sir B, K. Mannering applied for permission to use a portion of tho Township Reserve at Pongaroa for brickmaking purposes. Tho Board decided to inform him that they did not approve of his application, but would have no objection to his using a part of the reserve higher up tho river. Mr A. Brook was granted leave to let the grazing on Section 19, Block 10, Maugawhero, and Mr W. H. Cruicksbank was granted permission to lot tho grazing on Section 34, Block X., Kaitawa. Tho Board approved of an application by Mr C. Seymour for an extension of 11 years in which to pay interest on tho capitalised value of tho unpaid instillments on Section 123, Block XIV., Mangaono.

It was resolved to ask Mr Broomfield by what authority and under what conditions ho has occupied the land. Mr A. J.Shaw wrote explaining tho circumstances under which ho arranged to transfer Section 3, Block 1., Umutoi (Marten No. 2), to Mr U. J. Hughes. It wits revived to refuses the transfer, and to let the matter stand over for further enquiries to be made whether an enquiry will be held under the Act. Menars T. J. and W. A. Longhurst wrote and attended explaining why Mr Dedmnn was in occupation of Sections 09 and 70, Block IX., Mangaono.

It was resolved to inform the Pahiatua County Council that they have no power to use certain thirds as ordinary revenue and payment of interest on loan every alternate six months.

“ IMITATION is tho SINCEKEST FLATTERY.” The articles most imitated aro CLEMENTS TONIC and FLETCHER’S PILLS. WHY ? BECAUSE they have the best reputation and are most in demand by tho public, consequently, every dishonest trader tries to trade on their fame and renown. It is really wonderful that tho Australian people are so slow to see the truth as regards tho unscrupulous quacks and charlatans who prey on tho credulity of tho Australian public. Scarcely a week ever passes hut what tho press exposes the barefaced and shameful practices of some of these harpies, yet in face of all they seem to thrive, and the paper who hounds them down most thrives fattest on their advertisements and cracks champagne over each balance-sheet. Clements Tonic and Fletcher’s Pills have never yet stooped to deception and misrepresentation. They are scientific therapeutical agents, and evidence as to their value can bo found in every district, and such being the case it is unnecessary to further extol their virtues.
