VII.—Provincial Government Reserves.

Seventy one pieces of land, containing 88a. 0r. 01p. have been reserved from sale in different parts of the several townships for purposes that are not enumerated.

I enclose with my report two tables, giving the amount of land at present reserved under each subdivision I have made, both in the town and rural reserves, showing in one column those which may be considered as reserves or endowments for Provincial Government purposes, and for which Grants will have to be obtained from the Crown, and in the other, those in which the right to the Crown will not be alienated, and, from which land revenue is still derivable; the latter contain 68,623 acres, and the former, 88,785 acres.

I also forward a map (showing the position of) and a detailed list of all those reserves which it is desirable to permanently retain as such, for which no grants have been issued to the Superintendent, and which have never been confirmed by the Provincial Council, and I would suggest that they should now be recommended as public reserves, so that no doubt as to their legality should exist.

I have shown each reserve under the proper class to which it belongs.

In concluding my report I must apologise to your Honor for the condensed way in which I have been obliged to report on the several kinds of reserves, but the great number and variety of them rendered it impossible to give a more detailed statement of each kind in one report.

I have the honor to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient servant,

(Sigd.) JOHN H. BAKER,

Chief Surveyor.
