ANNUAL REPORTS OF DOMAIN BOARDS.

The Under-Secretary for Lands to the Hon. the Minister of Lands. Sir, — Department of Lands and Survey, Wellington, 30th August, 1913. I have the honour to transmit herewith a synopsis of the annual reports of Domain Boards for the year ended 31st December, 1912, which have been furnished in accordance with section 45 of the Public Reserves and Domains Act, 1908. The public domains of New Zealand are an important asset to the Dominion. They provide for that love of outdoor exercises and that appreciation of the beauties of Nature which are inherent in the average New-Zealander. They are administered solely for the benefit of the people, and evidence is not wanting to show that each passing year sees them more and more appreciated by that public for whose recreation and enjoyment they were set apart. The total number of public domains in each land district, together with the total areas, is shown in the following table : —

In 1911 there were 522 domains, comprising 81,551 acres, showing an increase in the year under review of nine domains and 1,781 acres. Eleven new domains were constituted during the year. The reservation over Moa Flat and Ettrick Domain (420 acres), Otago Land District, was removed by section 62 of the Reserves and other Lands Disposal and Public Bodies Empowering Act, 1912, and the area declared Crown land, as it had never been used for recreation or as a public domain, and was unsuitable for the purpose. Mangapiko and Pirongia Domains, Auckland, were amalgamated for administrative purposes. The Boards controlling the undermentioned domains have failed to furnish the yearly report, and inquiries are now being made as to the cause of default : — Auckland Land District. Auckland. —Situated in Rangitoto Survey District. Area, 236 acres 1 rood. Aratapu. —Section No. 42, Kopuru Parish. Area, 44 acres 1 rood 35 perches.

Area, 14 acres. In conclusion, 1 would again express the Department's appreciation of the generally efficient management of domains by their respective Boards. A glance through the summarized reports shows clearly how the various domains are being improved and beautified by the energy of these men. The successful and progressive management of a public domain often calls for rare business and administrative qualities, and in all cases for a great deal of public-spiritedness; and in carrying out the great national work entrusted to them they deserve hearty co-operation and support. 1 have, &c, John Stbauchon, Under-Secretary for Lands.
