CK Sproull stated that it was unfair for government to buy land for the Indians as his land was now 'hemmed in' by Indians on all sides. He stated that the Foster sale of land required Indians to cross a harbour and also cross his land for them to have access to their new timber lot. Stated that the wood lot purchase wass too far from main reserve and as a result the Indians would cut the wood on his land. Reported that the Indians had been taking wood from his land for 5 years and he had received no compensation. Sproull stated that talking to the Indian Agent was of no use. Sproull offered to exchange land, albeit hesistantly, and said that his land would have no value anyway if this continues.
