The Land Board on Saturday approved of this land being thrown open. On the motion of Mr Matthewson, seconded by Mr Hall, the following resolution was adopted:— :l To meet the increasing demand for land in this district this Board respectfully urges on the Government the advisability of taking over the East Coast Native Trust lands, held by the Bank of New Zealand Assets Realisation Board, or such portions as are eminently suitable for dairying and farming, such as Paremata and Pakowai.”
