Christchurch Domain Board. Members: Hon. W. Rolleston, Hom. C. C. Bowen, Messrs W. Jacques, R. J. S. Harman, H. P. Murray-Aynsley, and Sidney Weetman; the Mayors of Christchurch, Sydenham, St. Albans and Linwood, and the Chairmen of the Selwyn County Council and the Riccarton Road Board; secretary, Mr. A. L. Taylor. The Christ church Domains, which were originally under the Provincial Government, were vested in the Board under the Public Domains Act of 1881. The Board's revenue is derived from the interest on £3000 granted many years ago by the Selwyn County Council, and from rent of pasture, sale of timber, etc. The Acclimatisation Society's gardens are within the Christchurch Domain, but they are supported and controlled by the Society.
