Cook Parks are maintained in this way, and also the 

 National Park; but, in the latter case, the trustees have 

 the right to derive revenues by leases for coal mining and 

 other purposes; in the case of suburban and country parks, 

 it is held that there should also be local contributions for 

 their maintenance. 



In addition to the parks and recreation grounds more 

 permanently established by proclamation or dedication, 

 there are also areas in more sparsely settled localities, 

 temporarily reserved, and placed under temporary trustees 

 under the Public Trusts Act, Section 1. These are cases 

 where the conditions are likely to change, and the areas 

 may be required for other purposes, or where it may be 

 that other areas will be more suitable. 



It will be understood, from the foregoing, that, although 

 the Government may, except in a few special cases, delegate 

 the management to trustees, yet there is a supreme control 

 still retained ; and which may be exercised to the extent 

 of annulling the trust and placing the land again under the 

 direct control of the Government if deemed expedient in 

 the public interest. 



In different cities of the world different arrangements 

 are made in regard to control of parks. In London the 

 State and Municipal parks exist under separate adminis- 

 trations. In Paris the great majority of parks are under 

 one head, but in that city Municipal Government is sub- 

 ordinate to State Government. In many British cities, 

 e.g., Glasgow, there is but one administration of parks, — a 

 municipal one. 



Sydney is a capital city like London or Paris, not simply 

 a municipal city like Glasgow or Manchester. In cities 

 which are the seat of State Government there are always 

 parks and other open spaces directly under the control of
