DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND SURVEY SETTLEMENT OF CROWN LANDS (ANNUAL REPORT ON)

Presented to Both Houses of the General Assembly Pursuant -to Section 181 of the Land Act, 1948.

Sir, — Department of Lands and Survey, Wellington, 30th June, 1950. I have the honour to submit the annual report on the settlement of Crown lands for the year ended 31st March, 1950. I have, &c., D. M. Greig, Director-General. The Hon. the Minister of Lands.

REPORT

GENERAL REVIEW With the insistent demand for increased production, coupled with the demand for land by ex-servicemen and civilians, continued attention has been given this branch of the Department's activities during the past year. Fortunately a further improvement in the supply position of essential development materials has enabled greater progress to be made in preparing land for settlement, although in some districts difficulty in arranging for the erection of buildings is still delaying final settlement. Where practicable, this difficulty is now being overcome by the use of temporary accommodation, and in general it is hoped that with a continued easing of the supply position the tempo of the development work can be still further increased. As the fertilizer position improved, each year has seen an increased area of undeveloped Crown land brought under development, and at the end of this year 45,100 acres of this land were in grass in various stages of consolidation. In addition, an area of 411,211 acres acquired from private sources for settlement purposes and the residue of older " civilian " blocks is held and expected to yield ultimately 878 units for ex-servicemen settlement. The land utilization survey, which is commented on later in this report, will on completion, give an authoritative guide to the amount of Crown and other land available for closer settlement. There is already sufficient information available, however, to show that the undeveloped Crown land which can be speedily turned to production and closer settlement is not unlimited, and it is pertinent to draw attention to the fact that every thousand units of 250 acres absorbs 250,000 acres of land.

C—l

Most of the undeveloped land of the Bjonpnion which is capable of being successfully developed for closer settlement demands substantial applications of phosphatic fertilizers, and unless these are available in much greater quantities than at present the output of newly grassed land must for this reason alone continue to be restricted to a great degree. Although the over-all number of ex-servicemen participating in ballots for land is still comparatively high, there is an increasing tendency for applicants to concentrate on the more attractive properties in selected districts. There has been a lessening of interest in some of the larger store sheep and grazing propositions where applicants are required to deposit a substantial amount towards the cost of their establishment, but even in this category the better-class property still attracts reasonable interest, despite the substantial deposits normally required. The problems which for years have confronted many of the occupiers of the highcountry pastoral lands of the South Island are also receiving the attention of the Department, and this has led to the appointment of an experienced field officer as Pastoral Lands Officer so that a uniform approach can be made to these problems throughout the whole of the Island. As small grazing-run leases and pastoral licences embrace approximately one-quarter of the occupied land of the Dominion, the need for this approach to the problems as a whole, rather than individually, is evident, and attention was drawn to it in the recently published report of the Royal Commission which inquired into the sheep industry of New Zealand. Despite a dry spell during the late summer, particularly in Northland, the season on the whole has been a good one, with dairy production approximating that of the record season —1940-41. This fact, combined with good revenue prices, has resulted in Crown tenants generally experiencing a successful year. As at the 31st March, 1949, tenants on the books of the Department numbered 33,884, occupying a total area of 16,946,643 acres. A further 615 tenancies taken over under the Education Lands Act, 1949, and covering an area of 140,589 acres, were also current as at that date. Further details of the various tenures under which these areas are held will be found on pages 7 and 8 of this report. The administration work of a judicial nature associated with the Servicemen's Settlement and Land Sales Act, 1943, has been taken over by the Justice Department, but, by arrangement, statistics covering transactions under this heading are set out later in this report. LAND UTILIZATION SURVEY Activity in this field has been intensified during the last year with the Land Utilization Officer devoting his full time to the new work. The immediate objective of the survey is to ascertain systematically and comprehensively throughout the Dominion the quantity of unimproved land suitable for development, the information so obtained' being recorded for future use. It is hoped that these records will provide the Government, with authoritative knowledge of the production and settlement potential in the un-' developed lands of the Dominion and at the same time bring about an orderly approach to development in these areas. They will also facilitate the action necessary to prevent farm land being used for less productive purposes. The survey is made in three steps, the first being a preliminary investigation, which, with information supplied by the counties concerned, enables a fairly reliable estimate to be made of the county's resources in unimproved lands. This is. followed' by more detailed surveys in two stages. In the Stage I survey an area is classified as being suitable for immediate or deferred development and an estimate is made of the areas which can be used for dairying, sheep-farming, or other purposes, Development! factors such as access, water-supply, and ground contour are investigated at the same time. If it is decided that development should proceed,, a Stage II survey is made in which the method of development is planned, the scheme of subdivision investigated,' and water reticulation and roading surveys made.

Where the reserves are leased with a perpetual right of renewal, the lessee obtains on renewal a renewable lease under the Land Act, 1948, which gives a right of freehold not available to the lessee previously. Further details as to the classes of leases concerned will be found on page 8 of this report. Statutes Amendment Act, 1949 Small amendments to the Land Act, 1948, and the Land Valuation Court Act, 1948, are enacted in the Statutes Amendment Act, 1949. Section 31 gives holders of licences to occupy with right of purchase the right to acquire the fee-simple under Part VII of the Land Act in addition to any existing right of purchase conferred in their licences, and provides also that where they or holders of leases in perpetuity elect to convert to a renewable lease, the lease granted shall be under the Land Act, 1948. Section 33 provides that an application for an extension of time in which to appeal against a Land Valuation Committee's decision can be made, notwithstanding the fact that the Committee's order has been sealed. Reserves and Other Lands Disposal Act, 1949 The thirty-five clauses of this Act are all of a machinery nature dealing with Crown lands, reserves, endowments, and other lands. The Servicemen's Settlement and Land Sales Regulations 1949, Amendment No. 1 . (Serial Number 1950/15) The restrictions imposed by the Servicemen's Settlement and Land Sales Act, 1943, in the sale of land are varied by these amending regulations. They provide that contracts entered into on or after the 23rd day of February, 1950, for the sale or leasing of any land, not-being farm land, are exempt from control under Part 111 of the Servicemen's Settlement and Land Sales Act, 1943.

SERVICEMEN'S SETTLEMENT AND LAND SALES ACT, 1943 Applications to Transfer The number of applications for the consent of the Court to transfers of urban and farm lands has shown a tendency to fall since the year ended 31st March, 1947, when the toal number of applications was 46,995. The trend has been continued this year, and a further decrease on last year's figures is evident with the total number of applications for the year ended 31st March, 1950, being 36,021. This represents a decrease of 5,740 on last year's figures and 10,974 on the peak year of 1947. The sharp decrease this year is accounted for in part by the exemption in February, 1950, of transfers of other than farm land from the operation of this Act, but the figures for farm land show the same steady decrease evident in recent years. This is to be expected, as the return of servicemen to civil life created an abnormal demand for both urban and farm properties which reached its peak in 1947, since then tapering off as it is satisfied. The high number of withdrawals in the case of other than farm land, 2,925, as compared with 1,664 last year, was brought about by the exemption of these transactions from the operation of the Act in February, 1950, and where contracts permitted or purchasers were agreeable, many vendors withdrew their applications and fresh contracts were made. The following table shows the figures for the year :

Reductions in Consideration Directed by Land Valuation Committees for the Year Ended 31st March, 1950 From the inception of the Act, both the number and amount of reductions in considerations ordered by Committees increased year by year, as was to be expected with the increasing number of applications and the elapse of time from the date of stabilization. For farm land the reductions reached their peak of £739,552 in 1,645 cases in the year ended 31st March, 1948, since when they have gradually fallen to this year's figures of £544,765 in 1,357 cases. Reductions in urban properties did not reach their peak until last year, when they amounted to £2,192,608 in 15,391 cases. A decrease is evident this year with reductions amounting to £2,051,749 directed in 13,630 cases. This brings the total reductions to date, from the inception of the Act, to £13,626,374 directed in 83,737 cases. The following table shows the figures for this year: —

Appeals Filed During the Year Ended 31st March, 1950 The year ended 31st March, 1947, saw the greatest number of appeals lodged in any one year since the Act' came into operation —342 appeals were filed in that year. Succeeding years have seen a marked reduction in that number, due probably to a better appreciation by vendors, their agents and valuers, of the figure at which the Court was likely to approve sales and to the guidance given by the Court over a period in clarifying many points which were the subject of appeals in the earlier stages of the Act. The following table shows the number of appeals lodged during the year and how they were disposed of: —

CROWN LANDS AND LEASES , , , Owing to their complexity, the administration of the tenures existing prior to the passing of the Land Act, 1948, had become very difficult and cumbersome, and in the new Act an endeavour was made to simplify procedure as far as possible. The 31st March, 1950, brought to a close the first year's operations under the Land Act, 1948, and after an initial, settling down period the administration of the Act proved to be straightforward and an improvement appreciated by Crown tenants and staff alike. The following schedules summarize, the year's operatiors and their effect on the various tenures. Leases and Licences Current as at 31st March, 1950 Since the Land Act, 1948, came into operation on the Ist April, 1949, any new leases issued have been under that Act. Schedule (a) gives details of these leases, while Schedule (b) shows the leases which were issued under Acts prior to the Land Act, 1948, and are still current. The numbers of leases in the second schedule will gradually diminish as the leases concerned expire, and lessees on renewal are given a new lease under the Land Act, 1948.

Lands Taken Over Under the Education Lands Act, 1949 Since these areas became Crown land with the passing of the Education Lands Act, several of the lessees have elected to convert to leases under the Land Act, 1948, or expressed their intention of doing so. The following schedules show the areas which had not been converted to leases under the Land Act and were either subject to the original leases or unoccupied as at the 31st March, 1950 :

New Selections During the year 192 selectors purchased for cash an area of 6,574 acres, while a further 223,324 acres were taken up under new leases, the number of selections being 1,255. The total area thus selected was 229,898 acres. These figures cover both farm and urban land, and temporary tenancies are included in the areas leased.

Forfeitures, Surrenders, and Renewals One lease only was forfeited during the year, the area involved being 183 acres, while a total of 40 leases were surrendered covering an area of 88,761 acres. Because of staffing difficulties and shortage of valuers, and having regard to the uncertain tiiiies prevailing, leases which expired and were due for renewal during the. war years or immediately thereafter were extended by legislation in 1941, 1943, and again in 1947. Those leases extended to 1951 or normally expiring within that year are now being valued and will be considered as they fall due for renewal.

RECEIPTS AND EXPENDITURE The statements show in summarized form the receipts and expenditure for the year ended 31st March, 1950. Details may be found in parliamentary paper B-l [Pt. I]. The reduction in expenditure from Deposits Accounts compared with the previous year results from the abolition of the Education Endowment Deposits Account under the. provisions of section 27 (2) of the Land Act, 1948. Expenditure, under votes "Crown Lands" and " Settlement of Ex-servicemen" as from Ist April, 1949, covered substantially the same types of expenditure as votes " Land for Settlements " and " Small Farms Development."

LAND DEVELOPMENT AND SETTLEMENT OF EX-SERVICEMEN Properties Acquired for Settlement The acquisitions from all sources during the year show a marked decrease on the previous year, being 301 units, as against 461 for 1948-49. This is accounted for in part by a reduction in negotiated purchases, 224 units, compared with 296 the previous year ; but the main difference is in the compulsory acquisitions under Part II of the Servicemen's Settlement and Land Sales Act, 1943, which have fallen from 127 units in 1948-49 to 42 units for this year.

The following is a summary of acquisitions of farm land for the settlement of ex-servicemen during the year ended 31st March, 1950, and from the inception of the settlement scheme to the 31st March, 1950. Details of the properties acquired appear in Tables A, B, and C, which follow the summary.

Ex-servicemen Settled on Development Blocks The number of ex-servicemen who have been established on permanent tenure, or on wages or other similar basis with a promise of permanent tenure on completion of the development programme, is shown in the following return. Details of the areas concerned are also given, the return covering the period of twelve months ended 31st March, 1950, and giving also the total figures from the inception of the scheme to the 31st March, 1950.

These figures do not include ex-servicemen who have been assisted by way of rehabilitation loans to purchase established farms on their own account.

The number of allotments for the year —namely, 402 —is the highest to date for any one year since the inception of the ex-servicemen settlement scheme and reflects the high purchase figures for the previous two years. It represents an increase of 64 on the previous year's figure of 338 units, which in itself was an increase of 90 on the 1947-48 figure of 248.

Molesworth, 458,596 acres. The weather conditions have been favourable during the past twelve months, the winter being mild and no flooding of the rivers was experienced. Concerted efforts have been made on the rabbit pest both on the ground and from the air. Approximately 56,000 were killed by the rabbiters, while large numbers were accounted for by aerial poisoning. Unfortunately the mild winter has assisted the breeding of rabbits. During the year renovations were made to the homestead . and a start was made on the new access road from Langridge Gate. This road when completed should greatly assist in the working of the station, besides reducing running-time and heavy maintenance on vehicles. As a result of negotiations, an area of 218,972 acres was added to Molesworth during the year by the acquisition of St. Helens Station. A large building programme was undertaken on the new property involving extensive repairs to the Clarence Accommodation-house, new hay-shed, new six-horse stable and store-room, while rabbiters' huts were renovated and repaired. Fencing was repaired to assist in the control of cattle, internal tracks were repaired, new tracks were made, and the road to Hanmer was reconstructed.

STATISTICAL SCHEDULES The statistical schedules give information on the acquisition, development, farming, and disposal of blocks which were on hand at Ist July, 1948 (the commencement of the last trading year), and of blocks which were purchased or acquired and of which possession was taken during the last financial year ended 31st March, 1950. Single-unit properties acquired under section 51, Servicemen's Settlement and Land Sales Act, 1943, for immediate allotment without development are not included. In order that all these properties may be included in one schedule it is not possible to show the separate dates of acquisition of areas making up any one block or to show the individual dates of disposals, but more detailed information on these points and on the types of units is available in the notes supplied by officers in charge of the development operations. Abbreviations used —Type of farm : D = Dairy ; S = Sheep ; 0 = Orchard WH = Workers' home ; MG = Market garden ; T = Tobacco ; I = Irrigation; C = Crop ; R = Raspberry ; Civ. = Civilian. House cows on sheep-farms have been excluded from cows milked. Where land has been alienated on leasehold tenure the rental value has been included in the " Total Disposal Price." The " Area Farmed " is, generally speaking, the land within the ring fences including shelter-belts and small unusable areas, but excluding large areas of bush, swamp, &c., of no grazing value. Areas shown have been adjusted to agree with any surveys made subsequent to the acquisition of the properties.
