The leases will be for an absolute term of twenty-one
years, renewable for a further term of twenty-one years, in
accordance with section 209 of "The Land Act, 1885."

Improvements equal in value to one year's rent must be
effected in each year for the first two years, and before the
end of the sixth year an additional amount, equal to two
years' rent, must also be expended.

Valuations for permanent improvements, as described in
sections 210 and 214 of "The Land Act, 1885," will be paid
at the expiry of the leases to the outgoing tenants.

No person can take up more than one run. No person

of "The Land Act, 1885," can become a lessee.

Every lessee will have to reside on the land he leases
within twelve months from the commencement of his lease,
and thereafter for a period of six consecutive years. But
the Land Board may relax this condition in the case of any
lessee who is actually residing on any freehold or leasehold
land of his own which is situate within ten miles of the run
leased by him.

For a period of fourteen years from the date of the lease
one-fourth of the rents will be handed over to the County
Council or Road Board of the district, to be expended in the
maintenance or construction of the roads leading to and
opening up the land.

A declaration, signed and witnessed by a Justice of the
Peace, as required by section 200 of "The Land Act, 1885," must be attached to the application.
