1904. NEW ZEALAND.
PUBLIC TRUST OFFICE (REPORT RELATING TO THE).
Presented to both Houses of the General Assembly by Command of His Excellency.
The Public Tkustbe to the Eight Hon. the Colonial Tbbasuebk. Sib — Wellington, 31st March, 1904. I have the honour to submit a statement of the business done by the Public Trust Office during the past twelve months as compared with previous years. The figures disclose a gratifying all-round increase. The net profits on the year's operations amounted to £7,897 13s. 4d. A building is badly needed for the Head Office. The present accommodation is altogether inadequate for the staff. There is no privacy for clients doing business at the counter. There is a typewriter in the room of the Chief Clerk, and one in that of the Inspector. These girls must leave the rooms when business of a confidential nature is being discussed. The cubic air-space of the two larger rooms is barely sufficient for the number of clerks employed therein. If the new building is not soon available fresh quarters will have to be obtained, otherwise the growth of the institution will be arrested. During January last a visit was made by me to the principal Native reserves administered by the office under the West Coast Settlement Reserves Acts. A large area of these reserves is now held under perpetual lease. Some of the unleased parts are at present inaccessible, but when circumstances are favourable the balance not required for use by Natives will be from time to time submitted for settlement. The total area of the reserves is about 188,000 acres ; of this, 148,712 acres, being nearly four-fifths of the total, is leased or held under occupation license by Natives. The total rents amount to £25,796. After paying rates, land-tax, office commission, and other charges there remained for payment to the Natives interested £22,703. The system of occupation licenses was introduced to encourage the Natives to abandon the communism of the kaingas. A Native who has his own plot of ground will be more likely to cultivate it, fence it, and use it to the best advantage than if the place was the common property of the hapu. When a grant contains more land than is needed for the support of the Natives interested in it the portion not so required is submitted to competition under perpetual lease, with revaluation at periods of twenty-one years for the purpose of fixing the ground-rent, the tenant's improvements being protected. If the Natives occupying the remainder desire it, the whole or a part of the unleased land is given to individuals, partners, or families who want a portion for their exclusive occupation. The division is agreed upon after consultation between the Reserves Agent and the beneficiaries of the grant, the boundaries being fixed subject to survey. When the survey is made licenses are issued, with accurate plans indorsed. The documents are of a simple nature, but they give the holder an exclusive right to the area mentioned and protection for his crops and improvements. The holdings vary in size from two or three acres up to two hundred or more. Some of the holders complain of having to pay a rent for these holdings, but the reason is this : In hardly any case do all the Natives iuterested in a grant live upon it. Sometimes a few only do. The others may be anywhere in Taranaki or in other parts of New Zealand, many of them permanently absent. In such cases those who are getting the exclusive benefit of a piece of ground belonging in part to others should pay something to the others for it. A rent is fixed, which the occupier pays. As these rents are all pooled and repaid to those interested, including these same licensees, according to the value of their respective shares in the grant, there is no hardship, while justice is done to the absent owners. If every Native interested lived on a grant it would be easy, pending changes by succession, to give families or individuals a piece of ground of a value representing their respective interests and then no rent need be or would be collected ; but this is a hypothetical condition of affairs, not existing in reality. "Natives holding occupation licenses are as a rule more industrious and progressive than those living under the communal system. The number of occupation licenses in force is 303; area held under them, 20,304 acres ; average size, about 66 acres.

It has been stated that the office charges the Natives too much for managing these reserves. This is certainly not the case. The management of these and other Native reserves is the least profitable branch of the Public Trust Office business, and the commission charged barely pays working-expenses. The following figures will show the position :— Statement of Receipts and Expendituee in connection with the Native Beanch for Year ended 31st March, 1904. Receipts.

The average commission charged is about £6 16s. per cent., being I\ per cent, on rents collected from European lessees, and 3f per cent, on occupation-license rents, a very low percentage for the work done. The usual charge by a commission agent is 5 per cent, for simply collecting rents on account and paying them to his principal or into the principal's banking account. The office has to see to all leasing, get surveys made, roads laid off, ascertain who are the Natives interested, collect rents, distribute them twice a year to the numerous beneficiaries, keep accurate accounts, attend to Native Land Court matters, and take the risks incurred in paying to the wrong persons or being involved in expensive litigation arising out of the relationship of the office to these reserves. The work done in the management of many of the smaller grants with numerous owners is very onerous, and out of all proportion to the remuneration obtained. Having regard to the large amount of work which must be carefully done, and the risks undertaken in connection with the management of these lands, there is little doubt that no estate of equal value involving similar difficulties and responsibilities in looking after it is anywhere administered with greater economy.

The indirect benefit to both settlers and Natives through the office management is apparent. In some of these grants two or three hundred Natives are interested. The difficulties in the way of an intending settler wishing to deal with the Natives would in many cases be very great. First, the owners and the trustees for the numerous infants would have to be found, and all induced to sign the lease. Interpreters' and Native Land Court fees would have to be paid. Having obtained a lease, the tenant would have much trouble in paying the rents. In all probability some of the Natives who signed the lease would be dead, and he would then have to seek the successors. All these obstacles, delays, disbursements, and risks of error would have to be taken into consideration by him when calculating his expenses, and the rent offered would be less accordingly. Under the present system a lease is obtained from the Public Trustee without any trouble. Even the preparation of the necessary documents is done at the office. The advantages to the settler of having to deal only with a Government official who prepares all necessary instruments, gives a tenure guaranteed by statute, and relieves him from all responsibility regarding the distribution of rents must be obvious. If settlers had to deal with the numerous owners direct, many of the grants would not be settled at all, and those that were could not produce nearly as much rent as they do now. A glance at the Native reserves in Taranaki not under control of the Public Trust Office will convince any unbiassed person of the advantages that accrue from the office administration. Many such reserves, although of splendid land and immediately adjoining good roads, are unoccupied, and covered with furze and noxious weeds. An agitation is being started by the lessees of these reserves to get the freehold of the land comprised in their leases. The lessees will argue that the perpetual lease dispossesses the Natives permanently, and if the amount representing the value of the land be invested for them a greater income than at present received will be assured to them for all time, so that their interests will be safeguarded. The Natives, however, place a higher value on mana than on mere income, and to do as the lessees ask would be regarded as a gross breach of faith by them. They have been assured in the most solemn manner that these reserves would be theirs, and their children's heritage for ever. To violate these promises would, I fear, have a disastrous effect on the Native mind. The agitation should therefore be discouraged. I have, &c, J. W. Poynton, The Right Hon. the Colonial Treasurer Public Trustee.
