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 accord-
ance 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 March, 1889, to the
1st September, 1889, together with £1 1s. for the lease, must
be paid at the sale.

Further particulars may be obtained on application at the
