The present runholders have the right of removal or sale during the currency of their present licenses of any fences which are now or shall at the expiration of the said licenses be in or upon their runs.

Applications to be made at the Land Offices, Christchurch and Timaru.

Applications must be accompanied by deposits for survey, which vary from £6 for 30 acres to not less than £66 10s. for 1,000 acres. These deposits form part of the purchase-money. For details of payment see New Zealand Gazette, dated 31st January, 1889, page 115.

No applications for additional land will be received from selectors who are in arrear with the payments on their present holdings.

INSTRUCTIONS TO APPLICANTS.

Applications must be made on proper forms, to be obtained at the Crown Lands Offices, Christchurch and Timaru, and must be accompanied by the statutory declaration required by the system under which the application is made; also by a deposit of, with perpetual-lease applications, a half-year’s rent and 30s. lease-fee; with deferred-payment applications, a half-year’s instalment and 21s. license-fee; and, with cash applications, one-fifth of the total price.

If an applicant apply for more than one section, it is essential that he should be present at the drawing for priority of choice, either personally or by duly-authorised agent, to avoid confusion in the event of his being successful for two or more sections.
