NELSON. Sir, — School Commissioners' Office, Nelson, 4th February, 1896. In accordance with Order in Council of date the 17th day of September, 1878, I have the honour to forward the report of the School Commissioners of the Nelson Provincial District for the year ending 31st December, 1895, together with a copy of its accounts duly audited. There have been seven meetings of the Commissioners during the year. During the year eight reserves were let at a rental of £16 Is. Three leases were cancelled for non-payment of rent, and the arrears thereon written off. There has during the past year been more inquiries for land, and, on the whole, there has been a slight improvement in the revenue derived from the reserves. I have, &c, Christian Dencker, ■ ' „ The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. Chairman.
