Provincial Secretary’s Office,
Christchurch, Feb. 20, 1866.

His Honor the Superintendent directs the publication of the following Memorandum respecting the Sale of Town Lands at Hokitika and Greymouth.

Edw. JOLLIE,
Provincial Secretary.

SALE OF TOWN LANDS AT HOKITIKA AND GREYMOUTH.

In selling the Town Lands of Hokitika and Greymouth it is the wish of His Honor the Superintendent and the Provincial Government to carry out as nearly as can be done, without violation of law, the views expressed in the Resolutions passed by the Select Committee of the Provincial Council appointed to consider the question.

The Resolutions referred to were as follows:—

"That all Town Lands within the Gold Fields Townships, not lawfully occupied and built upon, i. e. under business licenses, when such townships are withdrawn from the Gold Fields, should be sold by auction in the ordinary manner provided by the Land Regulations."
"That each occupier of such land lawfully occupied, and having buildings upon it of not less than £25 value, shall have the opportunity afforded to him of securing his holding at the fair market value of land, without taking into consideration the value of his buildings and the goodwill of his business."
"That in the case of the Town of Hokitika the occupiers of town sections, who have complied with the above conditions, within the block bounded on the east by FitzGerald street and Fitzherbert street and on the north by Hampden street, should be allowed to secure their holdings on payment of £1 per foot frontage, where the depth of the section does not exceed one chain; and for a further payment of 10s. per foot frontage for any additional depth."
