Special Settlements.

The Governor may from time to time set apart such blocks of rural land as he shall think fit, and declare the same open for special settlement, to an amount not exceeding one hundred thousand acres in any one financial year.

This system gives the opportunity to twenty-five or more persons of the same nationality, or having other common bond of union, to associate together to form a settlement.

The land may either be taken on deferred payments or perpetual lease, subject to the regulations.
