NOTES AND COMMENTS.

We learn from Wellington that the object of Mr Ballance'a new bill for resumption ot private lands for purposes of settlement will, briefly stated, be to empower special asso ciations to acquire portions of large estates at a cost of 10 per cent, more thanproporty tax valuations, either with or without tfie consent of the present holders. The scheme will not affect estates of 1,000 acres or lees, and the landowner will always be allowed to retain that area, while hia homestead cannot be touched by the association. Com missioners will be appointed to receive ap plications for appropriations, and courts will be constituted to deal with .the details in connection with the acquisi tion of the land. Mr Ballance will ueo every effort to push the measure through all its stages during the coming session.

The following sketch ia given by ±he Wellington "Post" of the steps which might be taken to give effect to the echeme for the appointment of a EefetSce Com mittee as suggested in tho secret dispatch received by the Governor from the War Office It seems to bear the impresB1 of authority :—" Of course, if the Committee is composed of permanent officers its cost would not be very great. The Defence Minister would nominally be president, and Major - General Whitmore, Captain Douglas, and Major Buddanf aro names which at once suggest'themselves as suitable members. A fifth might be fonnd in the person of Lieut. GeneiaJShaw, adis tinguished Imperial Engineer officer; now on a visit to New Zealand, and" likely* to remain here for some months at least, or Lieut-General Stewart, a retired Artillery officer of high standing, who is settled in Tauranga. Sir Wm. Jerfbis could not, we suppose, act as a member of the Committee, but hra advice and teeistance could always be relied on, and Major Jervois would make a valuable member or admirable eecretary. The duties of the Committee would ba various and mainly of a strictly secret and confidential character. Probably their first would be to have proper hydrographical maps- prepared of . the country around the chief ports, so that com plete plans ot defence might be arrauged for each. The possible landing places of a hostile force and its probable lino o advance on port ortowns would have to b considered, and the vantagepoistsat which the local troops could meetj -them determined' on, the situation and character of entrenchments. required to be indicated, and instructions given to each commanding officer, so that he might know what he and his men would be called 'dh to do in case of sudden emergency. An in telligence system would also-have to bo arranged, and the committee would have to see that arrangements were made that a supply of entrenching tools and munitions were provided, and commissariat arrange ments made. The committee would also be in communication with the committees o£other colonies on matters where co-opera tion on defence would be possible." VC

A correspondent under the si -'-r*- " Health" sends the following pointed comments upon the important %ul,iect of sanitary reform': " Xt is very alarming to readthe frequent items in the papers con cerning typhoid, scarlet fever, &c., but it in no way surprises a pereoa from the country that there should be such items. Walking about Auckland streets, one's nostrils are assailed with all sorts of filthy.odours from diaine and cesspools, 'Talk of the duty cities of ij.j SMd Country • \ & (kI friend of mino ouo Cay, '-they are clean compared with these filthy colonial towns » nVh?l l , 8u ld he * 'Ihavosee n dead cats lying till they rotted away in thoroughfares in Sydney where . hundreds of oeoSe were peeing daily, and not long ago ' % cont!D, aed. :' A hone lay rotting -and p olS oning the. whole-neigh' bpurhood of. an Auckland suburb till w"h , raiDS -WBBhod- " awfly Piecemeal' What an inaonguity Auckland presents to a stranger!
