NATIVE LANDS.
ON EAST COAST LINE. ' PBB PRESS ASSOCIATION. WAIROA, July 16. It is reported on good authority that the Natives have practically agreed to sell the Awawa-Totara Block to the Government. The area of land is 17,000 acres, situated near Waikarl, on the route of the East Coast Railway, which runs through it. There is a fairly strong inclination on the part of the Natives to sell their surplus lands, and the local authorities consider it the best way to settle the Native question, to have the lands occupied by Europeans, and paying rates for road and bridge construction.
