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.
