101
tion of land or town site, or otherwise, shall
be duly made at the time when such reserve
or alteration is determined upon; and all
such maps shall clearly exhibit the lands
sold and those about to be offered for sale,
or which, having been so offered but not
sold, are open for selection at a fixed price;
and for the better information of the public
with respect to such lands, there shall be
delineated on the maps as many as possible
of the natural features of the country, as
hills, rivers, woods, and so forth.

III. Selections for Religious Purposes.
12. Ministers or trustees of religious
Bodies shall, either before or after any dis-
trict is open for selection, be at liberty to
apply to the Superintendent for permission
to purchase land, not exceeding one acre in
any town site, as sites for Churches, Chapels,
Schools, or other buildings devoted to reli-
gious purposes, and not exceeding twenty
acres in any country district for burial
grounds, or as sites for Churches, Chapels
or Schools; and upon any such application
being recommended by the Superintendent,
with the advice of his Executive Council and
the Commissioner of Crown Lands, the ap-
plicants or other persons on behalf of the
religious Body shall be permitted to purchase
the land applied for, at such rate as shall be
fixed by the Superintendent and his Execu-
tive Council, not being less than ten pounds
an acre for town land, or ten shillings an
acre for other land...

IV. Land Sales.
13. The Superintendent shall from time
to time by proclamation in the "Govern-
ment Gazette," notify the districts which
shall be open to general purchase, and all
lands about to be offered for sale, and the
class to which they respectively belong.
14. For the purposes of sale the lands
of the Province shall be classed by the Su-
perintendent, with the advice of his Execu-
tive Council and the Commissioner of Crown
Land, under five heads:--

A---Town land, being sites reserved for
towns or villages.
B---Suburban land, being land in the
vicinity of such sites.
C---Rural land, being land neither
from the unevenness of its surface
or the quality of its soil unsuited
for tillage.
D---Pasture land, being such as from
its hilly and broken character or
inferior quality appears unsuitable
for agricultural purposes.
E---Land believed to contain minerals
of value.
15. In determining within which class
any particular lands are to be included, town
and suburban lands will be distributed so as
to promote the settlement of the country,
subject to enlargement or alteration from
time to time. With regard to rural and
pasture lands, their fitness or unfitness for
the purposes of tillage, rather than their
position, will be considered.
16. All lands, except as is otherwise
herein provided, shall be sold by auction.
17. The upset price of town and suburban
land shall be fixed by the Superintendent
acting with the advice of his Executive
Council and the Commissioner of Crown
Lands.
18. The upset price of rural lands shall
be from ten shillings to twenty shillings per
acre, and of pasture lands from five shillings
to ten shillings per acre, to be fixed in like
manner.
19. The upset price of mineral land
shall be fixed in like manner, subject to the
provisions of clause 45 as to any land in-
cluded in a mining lease.
20. No land shall be sold unless the
same shall have been previously surveyed and
set out upon the ground, and distinguished
by an appropriate mark on the plan of the
district within which it may be situated.
21. No land shall be sold by auction
until the land to be sold, and the upset
price thereof, and the time and place of
sale, shall have been proclaimed in the "Go-
vernment Gazette" and some newspaper
circulated within the Province, for a period
of not less than one calendar month, nor
more than three months.
22. Sales of land, of which in accordance
with the foregoing clause due notice has been
given, will take place at intervals of three
months.
23. Any person wishing to purchase
portions of the Waste Lands of the Crown
not advertised as about to be sold, must
lodge an application at the Land Office
describing the portion of land which he
wishes to purchase and must deposit at the
same time a sum of money at the rate of
one shilling per acre upon the computed
acreage of the land applied for. In case of
the land indicated being already surveyed
and marked out upon any plan in the office,
it will be advertised without delay for the
next auction sale which will allow the requi-
site public notice to be given. In case of
the land not being upon any plan it will be
surveyed and offered for sale on the next day
of auction (with due notice) after such sur-
vey.
24. In the event of any land so applied for
not being sold when put up to auction, the
money deposited will be forfeited. But if
such land is then sold the deposit will be
returned or received as part of the purchase
money, as the case may be.
