HAWKE’S BAY LAND BOARD.

Per Press Association. ' • Napier, April 10. At a meeting of the \ Hawke’s Bay Land Board r.o-day a letter was received from the solicitors for Miss Meinertzhagen, asking for a rehearing of her application for a lease or license to occupy certain Waimarama lands. Eustace Lane, a member of the Board, referred to an application from Frank Donnelly for the same Waimarama land. The Commissioner of Crown Lands (H. Trent) said F, Donnelly had been advised that no action could be taken with regard to these lands until they were sub-divided .'for selection and the areas determined. A survey was now bieng pushed on and nothing could be done by the Board in the meantime. The Board resolved to hold a special meeting on Thursday, April 30th, for the purpose of re-hearing Miss Meinertzhagen’s application, and dealing with F. Donnelly’s. Mr Lane remarked that he did not see what was to be gained by holding a meeting when the Commissioner had been instructed that no action could be taken.
