1909. NEW ZEALAND

NATIVE LANDS AND NATIVE-LAND TENURE: INTERIM REPORT OF NATIVE LAND COMMISSION, ON NATIVE LANDS IN THE COUNTY OF COOK.

Presented to both Houses of the General Assembly by Command of His Excellency.

Native Land Commission, Wellington, 21st December. 1908. To His Excellency the Governor. May it please Youe Excellency,— We have the honour to submit a further report on Native lands in the County of Cook, Poverty Bay District. We stated in our first report dealing with this county (dated 18th February, 1908, and printed as Parliamentary Paper G-.-iii, 1908) that there was an area of 71,715 acres to be further considered and reported on. We have since obtained information as to 18,608 acres 1 rood 13 perches of this total, which with our recommendations will be found in the accompanying Schedules 1 and 2, and have set forth in Schedule 3 some of the lands not dealt with or as to which no further information is required, amounting to 39,165 acres 3 roods 17 perches. Summary of Schedules. -r T A. B. P. Lianas leased or under negotiations for lease ... ... ... 12 477 3 16 Lands recommended to be reserved for Maori occupation ... ... 6*130 137 Lands not dealt with... ... ... ... ... ... 39 165 3 17 Total ••• ••• ••• ••• ... ... 57,774 0 30 We have also the honour to submit a further report on the two blocks of land to which we made reference in our first report on this county namely, Mangatu and Whangara. We were led to make further inquiries through two petitions received by us. One was from a number of the owners of Whangara, and another from a number of the owners of Mangatu. After due notice we°met in Grisborne, and saw a number of the owners there. The division of the Mangatu Block regarding which the owners made complaints was Mangatu No. 4. It contains 6,000 acres. It is managed by the trustees—namely, the Commissioner of Crown Lands for Hawke's Bay, the Hon. Wiremu Pere, M.L.C., and Mr. Henry Cheetham Jackson. The petition made the following complaints :— (1.) That the trusteeship is of no benefit— (a) To us, the people ; (b) To the land; (c) To the Dominion. (2.) The mortgage weighs heavily (on us). (3.) The land is not utilised to earn revenue so that the mortgage may be paid off. (4.) They (the trustees) are further mortgaging to pay off the original mortgage and to pay the interest.

(5.) We, the people, are of the opinion that this is not (correct finance) right. (6.) The trustees call a meeting. What is it for ? It is for the purpose of negotiating another mortgage, and the major portion of the money is for the purpose of paying the trustees and their solicitor (Mr. W. L. Eees). (7.) The people derive no benefit from this trust; the only result we can see is the benefit to themselves. (8.) We are strongly of the opinion that we should have been much better off if we had been allowed to deal with the land ourselves. And the petitioners asked that— (a.) The land be placed under Part II of " The Native Land Settlement Act, 1907." (b.) If the Commission cannot see its way to recommend as suggested, we would prefer to have the lands dealt with by Thomas Coleman, Commissioner for the East Coast Trust Lands, provided that the provisions and regulations governing the Bast Coast trust lands were made to apply, also that the Government Auditor be empowered to look into audit and pass the accounts. After an investigation extending over two days, and the examination of many witnesses, we are more .strongly of the opinion that the recommendation we made in our former report —namely, that there should be for all the lands held in trust in the Counties of Cook and Waiapu one board of management (see page 5, G.-iii. 1908) —should be given effect to. The block Mangatu No. 4 cannot well be dissociated from the other blocks in Mangatu. The position is explained in our former report. Mangatu No. 3 is leased, the net rental being insufficient to pay the interest on the mortgage to which it and No. 4 are subject. The rent this year will be ,£122 13s. 4d., and that will be sufficient to pay the interest on the mortgage (£1,000), and the balance left will go in reduction of the unsecured debts. These were, as we formerly pointed out, on the 31st March, 1907, £544 6s. 6d. We expect that there will be at least this amount due, as there will be another year's salary due to the trustees (£3O). There are also some costs not yet ascertained. The petitioners complain that the block has not been leased. The trustees tried to lease it, but received no offer. We were informed that there was a considerable area of milling-timber, and the balance it is thought could now be leased. A proposal was made to borrow £5,000 to pay off the original mortgage and the unsecured debts, and to apply the balance in improving the lands and helping the owners to farm them. We are of opinion that it would be unwise to carry out that proposal. What we mentioned to the owners present as a suitable scheme was the following : That the area of milling-timber appeared to be about 1,000 acres, and should be set aside as a reserve for milling purposes, the trustees to sell tlj.e timber in such area, and the proceeds to discharge the mortgage. That 3,000 acres should be leased to the highest bidder, after being, if necessary, divided into two or more lots, if the country is suitable for subdivision. That 2,000 acres be reserved for Maori occupation, to be worked as a communal farm, if a proper manager were available, a committee of the owners being chosen to superintend the management. That if there was no immediate revenue coming in from the timber, a sum of money not exceeding £1,000 be borrowed to pay off the present debts, and the balance to go to help the communal farm, but that no money be borrowed until the 3,000 acres be leased. The Maoris generally agreed with this proposal, and Mr. W. L. Eees, who appeared as counsel for the trustees, concurred on their behalf. We believe, if this scheme were carried out, the Maori owners would be content. It is because they own a block of 6,000 acres yielding them no return that they complain of want of proper management. The Maoris asked that the whole of the Mangatu Block should be placed in the hands of the East Coast Trust Lands Commissioner or of the Tairawhiti Maori Land Board.

Re Whangara. This is a block of 12,325 acres, administered by Mr. Henry Cheetham Jackson as Eeceiver under the Validation Court. The complaints made in the petition were the following : — (1.) We, the people who own the land, derive uo benefit. (2.) The present Eeceiver leases the land at under the value. (3.) He leases the land to favoured persons. (4.) He does not lease it to the highest bidder so as to benefit the owners. (5.) He objects to supply accounts to the people. (6.) From his appointment up to date we have not received any accounts of his stewardship ; we are of the opinion it is only right and just that we be supplied with a copy of the accounts. (7.) The owners of the land are absolutely in the dark, and know not their position. (8.) The length of term of leases granted is not divulged to us. And the petitioners asked that the lands be placed under Part II of " The Native Land Settlement Act, 1907," and, if that cannot be recommended, that they be placed for administration under the Commissioner for the East Coast Trust Lands, and that the appointment of Mr. H. C. Jackson as Eeceiver be cancelled. The first four allegations were not proved. The rentals and royalties amounted for the financial year 1907-8 to £827 17s. 9d. The land was let by public tender, and at the time it was let it fetched the market value. The land has increased in value tenfold since then. As to the allegations in Nos. 5 to 8, the Eeceiver states that he has carried out the decree of the Validation Court, which requires him to supply an account to the Court only. There is no provision in the decree for supplying to the owners any details of the Eeceiver's dealings with the land. We may state that the terms of the decree as to accounts have not been complied with, as the decree obviously means that the financial year of the trust was to end. on the 31st March in each year. Instead of that, the year has been a variable one. For example, in 1907 the year is made to run from the 27th April to the 27th August so far as office-rent is concerned ; the salary, from the 22nd November, 1906, to the 22nd November, 1907 ; again, the 1908 account is dated the 15th October, 1908. The office-rent is charged from the 27th August, 1907, to the Ist October, 1908; and the salary from the 22nd November, 1907, to the 30th November, 1908 —that is, the account for audit has a charge of six weeks' salary unearned. In fact, the accounts are not clearly stated, and no ordinary Maori and no ordinary European could understand them. The accounts ought to have General Expenditure Account and General Eeceipts Account, and there should be separate accounts of the different subdivisions, charging against each a proportionate part of the general expenses, such proportion to be determined by the ratio the rent of the subdivision bore to the total rent. Complaint was made of the salary and office-rent and cleaning charged by the Eeceiver. This is a matter for the Validation Court to consider. There were other complaints made, such as the cost of litigation arising out of the first dealings with the block. There is no doubt that the costs were enormous, but it seems to us that it would serve no good purpose to deal with matters for which there is now no redress. There seems also to have been a mistake made in the non-paying last year of the land-tax in time. So far as we have seen, however, the Eeceiver seems to have acted properly in his duties. The Maori owners stated to us that the lessees of Blocks lα, 3, 5, 6, B 1 and B 2, the leases of which have about seven years to run as to all save 3, 5, and 6, which have twelve years to go, offered to surrender these leases at once if 1,000 acres were leased to them at a rental of ss. per acre. This would free for general settlement 3,373 acres, and the rentals that would be obtained would be on an average about 7s. per acre. The present rental is somewhere over Is. per acre. We are not in a position to say whether such a course will be in the interest of general settlement or of the Maori owners. We had no evidence as to value, and we are not satisfied that the owners, or a majority of them, agree to the new proposal. The new lease asked for is for forty-two years.

G.—lβ

The Maori owners made complaint that the lessees of X No. 3, N No. 4, And H No. 2 had not fulfilled the terms of the leases so far as cutting timber is concerned. _ The Eeceiver believes that the terms of the leases have not been fulfilled. He is, however, only a Eeceiver, and the Validation Court has declined to instruct him, and he has no fund to enter on litigation. In our opinion, this is a grave scandal that demands immediate redress. It does not seem to us that the costs would necessarily be large, and we would advise that the Eeceiver should collect all evidence of breaches, and that a suit should be instituted for damages or for cancellation of the leases, as counsel may advise. The very fact that this state of circumstances exists shows that the control of the land should be in some corporation such as the Tairawhiti Maori Land Board, and not in the hands of a mere Eeceiver. We have the honour to be Your Excellency's most obedient servants, Eobbrt Stout, } „ ■ • A. T. Ngata, J Commissioners.
