An interesting point concerning the tenure of shacks on Rangitoto was explained at the meeting of the board last evening. A letter was received from a shackholder who wished to transfer his site to another person, and a member of the board queried the procedure. The clerk to the board, Mr A. E. Wilson, stated that the requirements of the Crown Lands Department were met by letters from both the buyer and seller agreeing to the exchange. There was nothing in- the way of a title deed to any of the holdings. Every site was granted subject ‘‘to the pleasure of the board.” There were no deeds, no transfers and no stamp duties attachable to the tenure of shacks on Rangitoto, which was a public reserve in perpetuity. ‘‘Hardly a lawyer's lx" di.se,” commented a member, as the board ratified the transfer.
