PUBLIC DOMAINS
restricted financial ASSISTANCE.
?2tinierou» applications last, year were made to the Lauds Department for grants and subsidies for the carrying-out of improvements on public domains and ter the purchase of new areas lor recreation purposes. “The funds available, however,” states the annjial report on Pubic Domains of New Zealand presented to Parliament yesterday, “have been somewhat restricted, and it lias not been possible to afford financial assistance other than in a few deserving cases. Under the conditions prevailing, votes for domain inprovements have been restricted as much as possible to country districts, as it is held that boroughs and cities have much greater facilities for providing funds than scantily populated districts.. Sympathetic consiiieratiou is always given to the requirements of districts where no reserves have been set aside for public recreation, and where no Crown land is available for reservation subsidies have been granted in some cases to assist iu the purchase of private land.”
