A selector may purchase for cash any of the sections, not exceeding 640 acres of first-class land and 2,000 acres of second-class land; or may take up, on deferred payments, 640 acres of land; or, on perpetual lease, 640 acres of first-class land or 2,000 acres of second-class land. If the selector wishes to acquire any section on deferred payments, an addition of one-fourth to the cash price will be made. If the selector wishes to take up a section on perpetual lease, the annual rental will be 5 per cent. on the cash price of the land.

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 for unsurveyed lands 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.

Cheques forwarded as deposits must be marked by the bank on which they are drawn as “Correct for fourteen days.”

Commissioner of Crown Lands.

Rural Lands open for Sale or Selection.—Land District of Canterbury.

LANDS LYING BETWEEN HINDS AND RANGITATA RIVERS.

THE under-mentioned Crown lands will be open for sale or selection, in terms of sections 3 to 11 of “The Land Act Amendment Act, 1887,” either for cash, on deferred payments, or on perpetual lease, at the option of the selector, on and after Tuesday, the 25th March, 1890 (with possession on the 2nd May, 1890).

In cases where more than one application is received for the same section on the same day for surveyed lands, priority of choice will be decided by lot at the meeting of the Land Board at which the applications are considered, and by priority of application for unsurveyed lands; but if two or more persons shall apply at the same time for the same piece of land, or any portion thereof, the Board shall determine by lot the priority of right to be heard, as provided by section 2, Appendix E, of “The Land Act, 1885.”
