Settlement Scheme.
From Our Own Correspondent.
Apia, Mar. 3.
THE Aleisa Land Settlement Scheme for “local-born” men will be ex tended shortly and an additional divi sion (the West sub-division) opened up.
So far, 10 settlers have taken up plots on the initial area at Aleisa, and the new settlement comprises 689 acres, divided into 22 blocks of from 23 to 30 acres each. Over 40 acres will be used as a sports ground, with recreation and community buildings.
The first settlers have occupied their land for about a year, and all have planted their 10 acres in bananas. They will start shipping fruit in the near future.
Mrs. A. S. Boye, wife of the manager of the Vanikdro Kauri Timber Co., British Solomon Islands, departed from Sydney by the March “Malaita” for Vanikoro to join her husband.
