FOREST RESERVES
IMPORTANT LEGAL OPINION.
250,000 ADDITIONAL ACRES.
The first issue of “Te Karere o Tane,” tbo interesting monthly newsletter issued by the personnel of the State Forest Service of New Zealand, is just to hand. 1 “An opinion of great interest to this service,” it says, “was recently given by the Crown Law Office. It is, in effect, that all ‘Forest reserves,’ ‘timber reserves/ ‘bush reserves,’ ‘reserves for tho growth and preservation of timber,’ and ‘forest plantation reserves,' made under any Land Act prior to August 4th, 1908, are now under the control of the servioe, and not under the Lands Department, as w’as generally thought to bo th© case. This important ruling will result in an area of approximately a quarter of a million acres being placed under forest service control. Steps are now being taken to secure an accurate list of these reserves, and it is hoped that shortly each conservator will bo in possession of full particulars in regard to th© new State forests in his region. Copies of the opinion are now being made for distribution tc all officers interested.”
