REPRESENTATION COMMISSIONS' REPORT.
Presented to the House of Representatives pursuant to the Legislature Act, 1908.
REPORT OF THE NORTH ISLAND AND SOUTH ISLAND REPRESENTATION COMMISSIONS SITTING AS A JOINT COMMISSION. To His Excellency General Sir Charles Fergusson, Baronet; General on the Retired List and in the Reserve of Officers of His Majesty's Army ; Doctor of Laws ; Knight Grand Cross of the Most Distinguished Order of Saint Michael and Saint George ; Knight Commander of the Most Honourable Order of the Bath ; Companion of the Distinguished Service Order ; Member of the Royal Victorian Order ; Governor-General, and Commander-in-Chief in and over His Majesty's Dominion of New Zealand and its Dependencies. May it please Your Excellency,— We, the undersigned, constituted by virtue of the provisions of the Legislature Act, 1908, Commissioners for the North Island and for the South Island, were called together by Your Excellency and sat as a joint Commission on the 2nd day of May, 1927, for the purpose of dividing the Dominion of New Zealand into electoral districts for the apportionment of the representation of the people of the said Dominion, and for this purpose proceeded to ascertain the " quota." The Commission now respectfully submits for Your Excellency's consideration the results of its proceedings. The report of the Statistician showing the total population of the Dominion was received and read by the Commission. From the said report it was ascertained that the total population of the Dominion on the night of the census amounted to 1,344,469 (exclusive of the Maoris and the inhabitants of the Kermadec Islands), distributed as follows : The population in sixty-four cities and boroughs of over two thousand inhabitants, including those on shipboard, amounted to 727,125, and the urban population within five miles limit of the Chief Post-offices of Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, and Dunedin Cities, exclusive of the population in cities and boroughs of over two thousand inhabitants within that limit, amounted to 39,433, making a total urban population of 766,558, leaving a rural population of 577,911. Having added 28 per cent, to the latter figures, the total nominal population of the Dominion amounted to 1,506,284. This divided by 76, the total number of members, fixed the quota at 19,820. It was further ascertained that the total actual population of the North Island amounted to 831,813, equivalent to a nominal population of 929,388. Likewise, it was ascertained that the total actual population of the South Island, including Stewart and the Chatham Islands, was 512,656, equivalent to a nominal population of 576,896. A consideration of these figures showed that the number of members to which the North Island was entitled was represented by the figures 46'89, and the South Island 29-11. As the fractional part in the first case was greater than that in the second, the number of members for the North Island was fixed at 47, and that of the South Island at 29. This result increased the number of members for the North Island by one, and reduced that of the South Island by a corresponding number. The Joint Commission, having fulfilled the functions devolving upon it in terms of the above Act, resolved itself into the separate Commissions, which respectively proceeded to apportion and define the electoral districts for each Island. Given under our hands and seals, this sixth day of May, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-seven. W. T. Neill, Chairman. R. S. Galbraith. James Trounson. K. M. Graham. John Strauchon. W. D. Armit.

NORTH ISLAND REPRESENTATION COMMISSION. REPORT. To His Excellency General Sir Charles Fergusson, Baronet; General on the Retired List and in the Reserve of Officers of His Majesty's Army ; Doctor of Laws ; Knight Grand Cross of the Most Distinguished Order of Saint Michael and Saint George ; Knight Commander of the Most Honourable Order of the Bath ; Companion of the Distinguished Service Order ; Member of the Royal Victorian Order ; Governor-General and Commander-in-Chief in and over His Majesty's Dominion of New Zealand and its Dependencies. May it please Your Excellency,— We, the undersigned members of the North Island Representation Commission, have the honour to report that, as directed by Your Excellency on the 2nd day of April, 1927, we commenced our sittings on the 2nd day of May, 1927, for the purpose of dividing the North Island into electoral districts. The boundaries having been provisionally determined, maps were prepared showing the same, and descriptions were published in the New Zealand Gazette, notice being given at the same time therein that objections would be received up to noon on the 27th day of June, 1927. thirtythree objections and petitions were received, out of which ten were in connection with one electoral district, four to another district, leaving twenty-one separate petitions ; the whole of these were duly considered by the Commission, and dealt with in the manner set forth in the Schedule herewith. This Commission now submits for Your Excellency's consideration a map showing the boundaries of the electorates as finally fixed, with a schedule showing the actual and nominal populations of each electorate, which agree with the figures set forth in the report by the Joint Commission, and also descriptions of the said boundaries. One new urban electorate has been created, which was provisionally gazetted as " Auckland South," but after consideration of the objections received it was decided to rename the new district " Eden," and consequently the electoral district provisionally named " Eden " has been designated " Auckland Suburbs," it being considered a more suitable name for that district. With regard to the Ohinemuri Electoral District, it was found impossible to retain it as a separate district owing to the unequal increase of the density of population, and a provisional district was gazetted and given the name of " Mercer," which was subsequently changed to that of " Hauraki " on account of objections received to the proposed name. The alterations to the electoral-district boundaries as provisionally gazetted may appear to be in some cases rather extensive, but these were entirely due to complying with the objections and petitions received that the Commission were of opinion should be acceded to. As directed by the provisions of section 41 of the Licensing Amendment Act, 1910, the Commission has declared that the Auckland East, Auckland West, and Auckland Central Electorates shall constitute the Auckland Licensing District, and that the Wellington North and Wellington Central Electorates shall constitute the Wellington Licensing District. Given under our hands and seals, this seventh day of July, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-seven. W. T. Neill, Chairman. K. M. Graham. James Trounson. W. D. Armit. John Strauchon.

■ SOUTH ISLAND REPRESENTATION COMMISSION. REPORT. To His Excellency General Sir Charles Fergusson, Baronet; General on tie Retired List and in the Reserve of Officers of His Majesty's Army ; Doctor of Laws ; Knight Grand Cross of the Most Distinguished Order of Saint Michael and Saint George ; Knight Commander of the Most Honourable Order of the Bath ; Companion of the Distinguished Service Order ; Member of the Royal Victorian Order ; Governor-General and Commander-in-Chief in and over His Majesty's Dominion of New Zealand and its Dependencies. May it please Your Excellency,— We, the members of the South Island Representation Commission appointed by Your Excellency on the 7th day of April, 1927, have the honour to report that we commenced our sittings on the 2nd day of May last, for the purpose of dividing the South Island into electoral districts. Notice of the boundaries as provisionally fixed by us under the authority of our Commission was duly published in the New Zealand Gazette of the 23rd day of May, 1927, and on the 29th day of June, 1927, the Commission again met, and the objections, petitions, and suggestions that were received were duly considered and dealt with by your Commissioners in the manner set forth in the attached schedule. In accordance with the provisions of the Licensing Amendment Act, 1910, the Commission has declared that the Christchurch Licensing District shall comprise the Christchurch North, Christchurch East, and Christchurch South Electoral Districts, and that the Dunedin Licensing District shall comprise the Dunedin North, Dunedin West, and Dunedin Central Electoral Districts. With regard to the objections and petitions received in connection with the elimination of the Ashburfcon Electoral District, it was found, after mature deliberation, that it was impracticable to give effect to the suggested alteration of boundaries, and it was unanimously decided to adhere t.o the boundaries as provisionally gazetted, but to alter the name of the proposed Ellesmere Electorate to that of "" Mid-Canterbury." Representations having been made that " Central Otago " would be a more suitable name for the proposed electorate comprising a large portion of the former Wakatipu Electoral District, it was decided to adopt the name of " Central Otago " instead of " Otago Central " as provisionally gazetted. Your Commissioners subsequently finally approved and confirmed the boundaries of the electoral districts, and now respectfully submit for Your Excellency's consideration the names and descriptions of the same, together with a map showing the actual and nominal populations respectively, agreeing with the totals as allotted by the Joint Commission. Given under our hands and seals, this first day of July, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-seven. R. S. Galbeaith. Habey Quane. W. Stewart. Habman Reeves. W. T. Morpeth.
