In compliance with the provisions of the 17th section of " The Immigration and Public Works Loan Act, 1870," I have examined the separate account of the moneys raised under the above-mentioned Act, and of the expenditure thereof, during the year 1873-74, and find the same correctly stated, with the following exceptions:— Recoveries under Vote No. 84. The sum of £17,508 4s. Bd. includes receipts for allotments of land on which immigrants have been settled.* Explanation is necessary, as it does not appear why a vote for immigration purposes should be credited with receipts on account of the disposal of land.
