REGULATIONS FOR GRANTING WATER RIGHTS
UNDER SECTION 20 OF "THE AUCKLAND
WASTE LANDS ACT, 1870."

1. Every water right under section 20 of "The
   Auckland Waste Lands Act, 1870," shall be granted
   for a period to be so fixed in the grant not exceeding
   twenty-one years, subject nevertheless to the deter-
   mination thereof, as in manner hereinafter provided.

2. Every grant of such water right shall be subject
   to the reservation of a certain sum of money annually
   by way of rent; the amount of such rent, and the
   times and manner of payment thereof, to be fixed by
   the Superintendent, and to be specified in the grant.

3. Every person to whom any water right shall
   hereafter be granted for any of the purposes contained
   in the said section of the Act aforesaid, that is to
   say, for forming any dam, reservoir, lead, or flume,
   and any embankment in connection therewith,-shall
   be required to keep and maintain the same secure
   and in proper state of repair.

4. It shall be lawful, in every case where the land
   over which the water flows concerning which any
   water right as aforesaid is sought, or the land sur-
   rounding or contiguous to such water is not the
   property of the Crown, for the Superintendent or
   any person appointed by him, at all reasonable times,
   to enter upon such land as aforesaid, and view the
   state of repairs of all dams, reservoirs, leads, flumes,
   and embankments thereupon, and to transmitor deliver
   to the grantee or his assigns or agents, or leave at
   his or their place of abode, a notice in writing of any
   defect, requiring him or them, within a reasonable
   time, to be therein prescribed, to repair the same.

5. It shall be lawful for the Superintendent, at any
   time whatsoever during the term of the grant, upon
   breach of any condition contained in the grant or
   these regulations to be observed by any grantee,
   forthwith to determine the said right, for whatever
   purpose granted, by serving a written notice to that
   effect signed by him upon the grantee, any provision
   contained in regulation number six to the contrary
   notwithstanding, and such notice shall be deemed
   sufficiently served by posting the same on the ground
   through which the water flows.

6. Every such right as aforesaid may be deter-
   mined by the Superintendent at any time, by giving
   the grantee six months' notice to that effect, and
   payment of compensation to be fixed by arbitration.

7. The foregoing regulations shall apply with equal
   force in the cases respectively where the water to or
   over which any right as aforesaid shall be sought lies
   in or between or adjoining or flows through or over
   any land possessed by the Crown or any applicant.

8. And every such right shall be subject to such
   other terms and conditions as shall be specified in
   the grant; and where the terms and conditions speci-
   fied in such grant are repugnant to or inconsistent
   with the terms and conditions specified in these
   regulations, the terms and conditions specified in
   the grant shall be deemed to override those specified
   in these regulations.

9. The applicant for any such right shall pay to
   the Commissioner of Crown Lands, on application, the
   sum of five (5) pounds to cover the cost of preparing

the grant. If the application is not granted, the said
sum will be returned to him; but if the application is
granted, the said fee will be retained and paid into
