No. 24.
The Hon. the Colonial Treasurer to the Commissioner of Crown Lands, Otago.
Sir,—
In reference to the demands of the Town Board of Dunedin for rates and assessments on account of the Native Reserve which was leased by my direction in January last, you will be good enough to pay to the Town Board out of the rents you may hold such rates and assessments as the Board could compel any private freeholder of property to pay.
I have, &c.,
Reader Wood,
Colonial Treasurer.
W. H. Cutten, Esq.
