L. DIAMANTi; Hon. Secretary. MARLBOROUGH LAND BOARD ELECTION. TO mi CROWN LESSEES. Ladies and Gentlemen, — I BEG to announce to you that I am a candidate for the vacancy caused by the retirement of Mr John Duncan, and solicit your support. 1 claim that no one person can know the province of Marlborough better than myself. I have held leases from the Crown, in different provinces, for about forty years. lam in favour of all lands being sold at their full value, as unoccupied lands are the nursery for all noxious weeds. I am sorry to say that the Crown are the greatest offenders under this heading. The lands of any country can never be removed, the tax collector has no difficulty in finding their whereaboutst The land is the first commodity that the government of any country makes for when money is required for any important purposes. Therefore, it makes little difference to whom the lands belong. I consider the freeholder makes the better settler, as he is not afraid to do something for posterity, in the shape of permanent improvements, such as tree planting, etc. Leasehold property never seems to have the same sympathetic value that freehold has, as years roll by.—l beg to remain, Ladies and Gentlemen, Yours f/ithfully, ' ) 18 S. M. NEVILLE.
