Terms and Conditions.

The lease 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 who owns freehold land or land held under lease or license from the Crown which in all would exceed 21,000 acres, or who is incapable of making the declaration prescribed by section 200 of "The Land Act, 1885," can become a lessee.

Every lessee will have to reside on the land he leases within twelve months of 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 situated within ten miles of the land 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.

Intending purchasers must be prepared to hand to the auctioneer, on the fall of the hammer, a declaration signed and witnessed by a Justice of the Peace, as required by section 200 of "The Land Act, 1885." In the event of any purchaser failing to produce the required declaration, the lot will be put up again and resold.

The first half-year's rent, from the 1st September, 1888, to the 1st March, 1889, together with £1 1s. for the lease, must be paid at the sale.

General Description: These lands are situated close to the road from Frasertown to Lake Waikaremoana, and about ten miles from the former. Generally the soil is light; surface undulating, with small flats along the banks of streams: covered with high fern, tutu, and grass in parts; well watered, and a little bush for firewood in gullies.
