DUNEDIN. July 17. With regard to Oamaru school reserves, the Commissioners have decided that it would be inexpedient to dispose of the endowment vested in them in any, way but that it should be leased as heretofore. This is in answer to the Mataura memorial for throwing open runs 74, 88,' 161, and 162, on deferred payments. The Hon. Matthew Holmes suggested that two reserves of 900 acres each on his run, now over-run with rabbits, should be leased by public auction forthwith, conditionally on one-fourth of the area being ploughed within six months, and onefourth within a year, and that the Commissioners appoint Mr. A. Douglas to report as to leasing by auction of unleased Education reserves in Southland, and sections at Lumsden. The Commissioners replied to Mr. Holmes that they had no power to make a reserve at Lumsden for an Industrial School. The Education Reserves Commissioners li.ive declined to approve of the draft bill submitted by the Oamaru Corporation re transfer of reserves in that district.
