o te mahi tika he whakarato i te whenua ki nga tangata takitahi ki nga whanau ranei i runga i tenei whakaaro na, kia whiwhi te katoa i tetahi wahi o te takutai mo nga mahi kaimoana, i tetahi wahi raorao hei nohonga, a me etahi wahi hoki o nga maunga o nga ngaherehere. No muri mai nei ka kitea kua he ia aua momo wawahanga, haunga te nui o te whenua, engari ko te mahi taiapa ko nga mahi ruuri kore i arikarika te utu a ko etahi ano kaore he urunga atu i whakaritea e te ture. Kua tini nga wawahanga penei a kua takimano te hunga kei roto i aua wawahanga ina noa ake nei nga eka kaore te taea e taua hunga takimano te ahuwhenua a kua kore take hoki mo te riihi. Kua kiia ake ra he whakahaehae aua wawahanga kua taumahatia i nga moni reiti o roto i nga tau a kua tipungia e te huhua o te otaota. Kei whea mai nei te uauatanga kua takimano te hunga kei roto i nga taitara ko nga hea o te tangata kotahi ina noa ake. Kei nga ture o mua atu o Te Ture o te tau 1953 e takoto ana nga mana whakakore i nga wawahanga kua kore take penei i enei kua whakamaramatia ake nei kia taea ai aua whenua te whakamahi. Ka oti nga wawahanga te whakakore kei reira nga ture hei whaka-whiti-whiti hei whakatikatika hei wawahi hou mehemea i pirangitia kia peratia. He takitahi te hunga i whai kia whaka mahia aua ture a ko nga mea ano i tahuri ki te whakatikatika kua noho tika o ratou na whenua. Kei te mohiotia iho nga uauatanga ko te tokomaha o te hunga no ratou nga whenua a ko te marara hoki o te noho a taua hunga. Ka puta ko te Ture o te tau 1953 ka tuhia ano aua ture whakatikatika wawahanga whenua taitara motuhake ki roto apiti atu hoki ki era ka whakawhiwhia Te Kooti ki te mana whakawhaiti i nga taitara o nga whenua e patata ana ki aua wehewehenga mehemea ma reira ka pai ai te whakamahi te whakanohonoho o aua whenua. Inatata nei ka whakamahia tenei wahanga o te ture e Te Kooti i tu ki Wanganui hei Whakatikatika i taua ono poraka whenua he uaua hoki te whakahuihui i te hunga e whai paanga ana ki nga poraka takitahi. I takoto te kupu a te kaitono ki te aroaro o Te Kooti e kore e pa he raruraru ana whakakotahitia aua poraka e ono. Ma te patata anake o nga poraka e taea ai te whakamahi tenei wahanga o te ture. E taea ana hoki te wawahi te whakakotahitanga o etahi poraka ahakoa kaore aua poraka i te patata a ehara ranei i te mea no te hunga kotahi. Kua maro te whakaaro o Te Kooti e kore ia e tapoko ki te he ara mehemea ka kitea iho ma te wehewehe paanga ka kore take te whenua mo te mahi ahuwhenua mo te whakanohonoho e kore e whakaaetia te wehewehe i taua whenua ara ka whai Te Kooti i te ture i mea ai kei a ia ano te tikanga. I peneitia e Te Kooti tetahi take inatata nei i takoto ki tona aroaro i Taranaki. Ka mate te wahine ra ka mahue iho tana wira e or each group, a piece of the beach with access to fishing, a piece of the flat, some of the road frontage (if any), a portion of the hill and some of the high timber country beyond. In this day and age such partitions are quite unsuitable in themselves for farming, even though they are large enough. Among other things they cannot conveniently be divided into paddocks and the cost of survey and fencing are very high and sometimes prohibitive. Some even have no legal access. On the other hand there are innumerable small areas of a few acres, owned in many cases by numerous people, which in themselves are unsuitable for use by the owners or for leasing. Often subdivisions of this kind are a burden rather than an asset, as rates have to be paid and the land must be kept free of noxious weeds. The difficulties arising from this source are often greater than those from multiple ownership, but in almost all cases the two evils exist together, an unsatisfactory subdivision being owned by many people in very small shares. For many years prior to the passing of the 1953 Act it was possible for unsatisfactory subdivisions to be cancelled so that the new title covered a larger and more workable area. It was also possible, following cancellation, for an arranged or combined partition to be made affecting several separate blocks whether or not those blocks adjoined each other. Not enough owners have taken advantage of this, but in some districts, encouraged by the Court, very good progress has been made. No doubt one of the problems preventing owners taking the initiative was the difficulty of getting anything approaching agreement among their numerous co-owners, many of whom were no longer resident near the land. The 1953 Act continued this provision and also contains power for the Court to amalgamate the titles of adjoining lands where it considers that by so doing the land can be more economically worked or more easily dealt with. Such an order was recently made in the Wanganui Court in respect of six adjoining blocks and it was done so that a lease of the land could be facilitated because it had been found impossible to obtain a quorum for a meeting of owners of each of the six blocks separately. The Court was assured by the applicant that there would be no such difficulty if the six blocks became one. It should be noted that this procedure of amalgamating titles can only be followed where the blocks adjoin each other, but partitions of combined areas can still also be made whether or not any of the blocks concerned adjoin or are in common ownership, or whether or not the blocks are subdivisions of the same original block. The Court has resolutely set itself against continuing or repeating the errors of the past with regard to unsuitable partitions and thus follows the letter and spirit of the new Act which gives it a discretion to refuse to partition where it considers that it would be contrary to the public interest or to the interest of the owners or other persons
