may require for the due completion of such contract,
and shall offer to accept rural land by way of
payment or compensation, or by way of part pay-
ment or compensation, for such work, such person
shall, on the completion of such contract, be entitled
to a free grant of such land, or so much thereof as
the Board shall adjudge, not exceeding one acre for
every one pound sterling which the Superintendent
shall certify to the Waste Lands Board to be the
bonâ fide value of the work so done by such person,
according to the prices for work and materials at
the time of performing such contract current in the
district: Provided always that the following rules
shall be observed in this behalf:---

(1.) No greater amount of land than two hun-
dred and fifty acres shall, under the provisions
of this clause, be granted to any person under
any such contract, unless in payment of work
