CHARGE OF HOLDING LAND,
MR. CORRIGAN'S ALLEGATIONS. DECLARED TO BE INACCURATE. By Telegraph.—Pres? Association. Auckland, July 21. In reference to the allegations mad« by Mr. J. R. Corrigan in the House of Representatives as to the holding of lands near the new Ranui railway station, between Henderson and Swanson, some of Sir James Parr’s constituents state that the Minister does not hold, nor is he directly or indirectly interested in land in the vicinity of Ranui station. A new station Gratia, was built about a year ago and there is a family named Parr, who have no connection with the Minister, but live eloso to the station and have resided in the district for 50 years. The member for Patea had confused the Waikumete family of Pan- with the member for Eden. Two years ago the Swanson Ratepayers’ Association was instrumental in the purchase as a seenic reserve of a block of 25 acres of . native bush within a mile of Ranui station. This reserve has been named Parr Park. The association has written to the Prime Minister asking for a thorough investigation of Mr. Corrigan’s charges as they are absolutely inaccurate and an injustice and demand Dominion-wide publicity.
