LAND BALLOTS
PREFERENCE TO RETURNED SOLDIERS. CHANGE OF TIME ADVOCATED. (Per United Press Association.) Dannevirke, May 6. The Southern Hawke’s Bay Farmers’ Union Executive discussed the preference clause in favour of returned soldiers in regard to land ballots and decided to support the resolution. The Hawke’s Bay Provincial Executive is asking the Minister of Lands to remove the existing restrictions so that the sons of settlers may participate in the ballots on an equal footing with returned soldiers or anyone else. Also that representations be made to the Department to have the ballots held in January and February instead of in the Spring.
