THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE. [No. 78

allowed for in any valuation in excess of £5 for every acre of
rural land.
The lease will contain an arbitration clause to enable, at
the end of the term, the value of improvements to be deter-
mined for which an outgoing lessee should be paid by an
incoming lessee. It will also provide that, in the event of
there being no accepted tenderer for the new lease, the old
lessee shall have the option of accepting a fresh lease for the
same period and on the same conditions as his first lease, at
a rental to be fixed by arbitration, minus the value of the
improvements, which is also to be fixed by arbitration.

Tenderers may offer for any number of sections, but no
tender will be accepted for more than 640 acres in the aggre-
gate. Such sections must, however, be contiguous.

A deposit of one half-year's rent must be made at the time
of tendering, the amount to be calculated on the highest
amount offered by any tenderer for an aggregate area of 640
acres or any less quantity; but no deposit will be required
for any quantity of land tendered for beyond the 640 acres.
Coloured lithographic plans of the above sections are on
view at the several land offices throughout the colony.
