[No. 38
These sections form part of the Waihi Block, and are
forest land, some very good and some broken.
This block comprises lands belonging to seven distinct
grants. Lands being portions of more than one grant will
not be included in the same lease. Separate leases will,
therefore, be prepared for any lease of two or more sections
in different grants.
Other lands to be leased but not included in plan:—

  CONDITIONS AS TO OCCUPATION AND IMPROVEMENTS.
  The maximum quantity any lessee can hold is 640 acres of
  rural land of the West Coast Settlement Reserves.
  Each lessee shall within two years from the date of his
  lease bring into cultivation not less than one-tenth of the
  land leased by him, and within four years of the said date
  not less than one-fifth of the said land, and within six years
  from the date of his lease, in addition to the cultivation of
  one-fifth of the land, shall place on such land substantial
  improvements of a permanent character to the value of £1
  for every acre of such land.
  Improvements to be suitable to and consistent with the
  extent and character of the holdings, and none shall be
  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 determined 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.
  CONDITIONS AS TO TENDERS.
  Tenderers may offer for any number of sections, but no
  tender will be accepted for more than 640 acres in the aggregate. Such sections must, however, be contiguous, and not
  more than 200 acres of the open Waihi land will be let to one
  person.
  After the declaration of tenders any sections not tendered
  for will be open for application at the upset rent. The first
  applicant to be declared the lessee, but, if there should be
  two or more applicants at the same time for any lease, the
  right to the lease shall be decided by lot.
  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 Waihi Block will be on
  view in the several Land Offices throughout the colony.
