MICHAEL GILFEDDER, and
HENRY DOUGLAS MORPETH HASZARD

to be a Commission to inquire into and report upon the following matters:—

(1.) What Crown lands not vested in the Public Trustee have been (a) set apart to make provision for landless Natives in the South Island prior to the passing of the South Island Landless Natives Act, 1906; or (b) permanently reserved by Proclamation for the purpose of providing land for the landless Natives of the South Island, under the provisions of the said South Island Landless Natives Act, 1906; or (c) since the repeal of that Act, set apart or reserved in the South Island for such purposes.

(2.) Whether the lands so set apart or permanently reserved, or any and which of them, have been duly applied for the purposes for which they were so set apart or permanently reserved.

(3.) Whether by any process or system of consolidation of reserves or interests or other means, or by exchange for other more suitable or conveniently situated lands, the purposes for which the lands set apart or permanently reserved can be better provided.

(4.) Whether the purposes can be better provided by reserves for hapus or families rather than by the appropriation of separate areas to individual Natives.

(5.) Whether the said purposes could be best provided by leasing the lands so set apart or permanently reserved, or any and which of them, on leases of long tenure, and by applying the rents and profits for the said purposes.

(6.) Whether any and, if so, what lands not vested in the Public Trustee have been set apart or reserved in the Waikato-Maniapoto Native Land Court District for the benefit of landless Natives, and in what manner and by what means such lands may be best made applicable for the purposes for which they were so set apart or reserved.
