REPRESENTATION COMMISSIONS' REPORT.

Presented, to the House of Representatives pursuant to the Legislature Act, 1908.

REPORT OK THE NORTH AND SOUTH ISLAND REPRESENTATION COMMISSIONS SITTING AS A JOINT COMMISSION. To His Excellency the Right Honourable Arthur William de Brito Savile, Earl of Liverpool, Governor-General and Commander-in-Chief in and over His Majesty's Dominion of New Zealand and its Dependencies. May it please Your Excellency,— We, the undersigned, constituted by virtue of the provisions of the Legislature Act, 1908, Commissioners for the North and for the South Island, were called together by the Governor-General and sat as a Joint Commission on the 10th day of September, 1917, for the purpose of dividing the Dominion of New Zealand into electoral districts for the apportionment of the representation of the people of the said Dominion, and for this purpose proceeded to ascertain the " quota." The Commission now respectfully submits for Your Excellency's consideration the results of its proceedings. The report of the Statistician showing the total population of the Dominion was received and read by the Commission. From the said report and from returns furnished by the Defence Department as to the number absent with the Expeditionary Forces it was ascertained that the total population of the Dominion on the night of the census amounted to 1,142,081 (exclusive of Maoris, and the inhabitants of the Chatham and Kermadec Islands, and interned aliens), distributed as follows : The population in fifty cities and boroughs of over two thousand inhabitants, including those on shipboard, amounted to 538,334, and the urban population within five-miles limit of the Chief Postoffices of Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, and Dunedin Cities, exclusive of the population in cities and boroughs of over two thousand inhabitants within that limit, amounted to 36,343, making a total urban population of 574,677, leaving a rural population of 567,404. Having added 28 per cent. to the latter figures, the total nominal population of the Dominion amounted to 1,300,954. This divided by 76, the total number of members, fixed the quota at 17,118. It was further ascertained that the total actual population of the North Island amounted to 674,101, equivalent to a. nominal population, of 766,618. Likewise it was ascertained that the total actual population of the South Island, including Stewart Island, was 467,980, equivalent to a nominal population of 534,336. A. consideration, of these figures showed that the number of members to which the North Island was entitled was represented by the figures 44-78, and the South Island 31 -22. As the fractional part in the first case was greater than that in the second the number of members for the North Island was fixed at 45, and that of the South Island at 31. This result increased the number of members for the North Island by three, and reduced that of the South Island by a corresponding number. The Joint Commission having fulfilled the functions devolving upon it in terms of the above Act, resolved itself into the separate Commissions, which respectively proceeded to apportion and define the electoral districts for each Tsland. Given under our hands and seals, this twenty-first day of September, one thousand nine! hundred and seventeen. E. 11. Wclmot, Chairman [l.S.]. W. IT. Sktnner [l.S.]. J. W. A. Marchant [l.s.].

NORTH ISLAND REPRESENTATION COMMISSION. REPORT. To His Excellency the Right Honourable Arthur William de Brito Savile, Earl of Liverpool, Governor-General and Commander-in-Chief in and over His Majesty's Dominion of New Zealand and its Dependencies. May it please Your Excellency,— We, the members of the North Island Representation Commission, have the honour to report that, as directed by Your Excellency on the 30th day of August last, we commenced our sittings on the 10th day of September last for the purpose of dividing the North Island into electoral districts. The boundaries having been provisionally fixed, maps wore prepared showing the same, and descriptions were published in the New Zealand Gazette, notice being given at the same time therein that objections would be received up to noon of the sth November. In all thirty-one objections were received and dealt with, as set forth in the schedule herewith. This Commission now respectfully submits for Your Excellency's consideration a map showing the boundaries of the electorates as finally fixed, with a schedule showing the actual and nominal populations in each electorate, which agree with the figures set forth in the report by the Joint Commissions ; and also descriptions of the said boundaries. Three new electorates have been created —one urban, at Auckland, to which the name " Roskill " has been given, and two rural, to which the names " Rotorua " and " Manawatu " (formerly the name of an electorate) have been given. The Town of Taumarunui being now included in the Waimarino Electorate, the name " Waitomo " has been substituted for " Taumarunui," as better describing the remodelled electorate. The name " Wellington Suburbs and Country Districts " has been curtailed to " Wellington Suburbs," there being now practically no country population included in the electorate. As directed by the provisions of the Licensing Amendment Act, 1910, the Commission has declared that the Auckland East, Auckland West, and Auckland Central Electorates shall constitute the Auckland Licensing District, and that the Wellington North, Wellington Central, and Wellington East Electorates shall constitute the Wellington Licensing District. Before concluding this report we, as a Commission, desire respectfully to bring under the notice of Your Excellency the following points, with suggestions thereanent: — 1. The wording of section 18 of the Legislature Act, 1908, dealing with the " margin " of population in electorates comprising " urban " and " rural," does not express the evident intention of the section—viz., that such " margin " shall be the " margin " fixed for " urban " electorates plus a number bearing the same ratio to the number 300 (the difference of " margin " for " urban " and " rural " electorates) as the " rural " population in the electorates bears to the total population therein. It is suggested that the section be amended as to wording. 2. " Urban " population includes population within circles drawn with a five-mile radius from the post-offices of the four principal cities. This arbitrary boundary was decided on when these cities were very much smaller than at present, and it is now found that in some cases real suburban areas are not included within the circles. The fact that the census sub-enumerators cannot follow these circles on the ground causes all concerned in dealing with the population figures much needless trouble. It is suggested that, instead of these imaginary lines being adopted as boundaries, the "urban" areas shall be properly defined by boundaries that will include all suburban areas and all areas within five miles of the post-offices aforesaid, and that can be followed on the ground by the Census Enumerators ; further, that such boundaries shall be fixed from time to time by Order in Council at least six months before any census is taken. 3. This Commission desires to call special attention to the difficulty experienced in obtaining electoral boundaries that will conserve community of interest and at the same time keep the population of each electorate within the limits at present prescribed by the Act. It is of opinion that the obtaining of suitable boundaries would be facilitated by increasing the " margin " allowed in respect of rural population from 550 to 1,000. It mayTbe pointed out that the margin of 550 at present allowed is on the nominal population, and only represents an actual margin of 430, while the actual margin corresponding to 1,000 would only be 781. The Commission also suggests that the increase of margin would enable Commissions to adjust boundaries in such manner as to more nearly comply with the provisions of the Licensing Amendment Act of 1914 than is at present possible, but does not believe that any reasonable margin would enable Commissions to fully comply in every case with that Act where, as with the present Commissions, it becomes necessary to increase or diminish the number of electorates in either Island. This Commission is of opinion, having regard to the fixing of the best boundaries for electoral districts, that the question of keeping licensing districts distinct from electoral districts is worthy of consideration, but, realizing that this would open up a very big public question, does not consider it within its functions to offer any definite suggestions in this direction. Given under our hands and seals, this tenth day of December, one thousand nine hundred and seventeen. E. H. Wilmot [l.s.]. J. W. A. Marchant [l.s.]. H. M. Skeet [l.s.] G. H. Bullard [l.s.].

SOUTH ISLAND REPKESENTATION COMMISSION. REPORT. To His Excellency the Right Honourable Arthur William de Brito Savile, Earl of Liverpool, Governor-General and Commander-in-Chief in and over His Majesty's Dominion ol New Zealand and its Dependencies. May it please Your Excellency,— We, the members of the South Island Representation Commission appointed by Your Excellency on the 28th day of August, 1917, have the honour to report that we commenced our sittings on the 11th day of September last for the purpose of dividing the South Island into electoral districts. Notice of the boundaries as provisionally fixed by us under the authority of our Commission was duly published in the New Zealand Gazette of the 11th day of October, 1917, and on the 7th day of November, 19.1.7, the Commission again met, and the objections and suggestions that were received were duly .considered and dealt with by the Commissioners in the manner set forth in the attached schedule. By the alteration of the provisional boundaries of a number of the electorates it was found possible to give effect to a large proportion of the objections and suggestions. With regard to the objections of certain of the electors to the change of names, your Commission decided that the old name of " Bruce " should be retained, that " Buller " should be substituted for " Grey," and " Motueka " for " Buller," and the name " Huranui " should be retained. In accordance with the provisions of the Licensing Amendment Act, 1.910, the Commission has declared that the Christehurch Licensing District shall comprise the Christehureh North, Christchurch East, and Christchurch South Electoral Districts, and that the Dunedin Licensing District shall comprise the Dunedin North, Dunedin West, and Dunedin Central Electoral Districts. After due consideration your Commission found it impossible to include the licensed premises of Heriot in a licensed district, for the following reason : That by including Heriot in Wakatipu the Commissioners would be ignoring the provisions of section 1.7 (2) (c) of the, Legislature Act, 1908 that is, community of interest, facility of communication, and topographical features. Your Commission subsequently finally approved and confirmed the boundaries of the electoral districts, and now respectfully submit for Your Excellency's consideration the names and descrip tions of the same, together with a map showing the actual and nominal populations respectively, agreeing with the totals as allotted by the Joint Commission. Given under our hands and seals, this twelfth day of November, one thousand nine hundred nnd seventeen. Robt. T. Sadd. Chairman [l.s.J. Harry Quane [l.s.]. W. H. Skinner [l.s.]. Harman Reeves [l.s.].
