W. Robertson, Under-Secretary for Lands. Wμ. E. Shaw, Accountant. I hereby certify that the Revenue Account and Balance-sheet have been duly examined and compared with the relative books and documents submitted for audit, and correctly state the position as disclosed thereby, subject to the departmental note enfaced thereon. The following comments are appended : (1) The completion of the clearance of all survey liens included in the recommendations of conference of departmental officers as reported in parliamentary paper G.-7, 1932, does not appear to be fully practicable, and a further conference should be arranged ; (2) interest in respect of survey charges on land under consolidation schemes has not been charged as required by section 500 of the Native Land Act, 1931.— G.
