SECOND SCHEDULE.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF LEASE.

1. The lands to be dealt with under these conditions are first-class lands, and are divided into village-homestead allotments, open for selection on lease in perpetuity, under the provisions of "The Land Act, 1892" (hereinafter referred to as "the said Act"), and "The Cheviot Estate Disposition Act, 1893."

2. The day on which the lands shall be open for selection shall be Monday, the thirteenth day of November, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-three.

3. The rental stated in the First Schedule to the foregoing Order in Council, opposite the description of each allotment of land, shall be the price at which such land shall be open for selection.

4. Every applicant shall make the declaration prescribed, and shall, immediately after the application has been approved, deposit a sum equal to one half-year's rent of the land applied for. Such payment shall be in discharge of the half-year's rent due on the 1st day of January or July following. He shall also pay the sum of £1 1s. for the preparation of the lease and the registration thereof.

7. Each applicant shall also undertake to pay the first half-year's rent, together with the lease and registration fee of £1 1s., immediately upon being declared the successful applicant.

8. All rents must be paid half-yearly, in advance, on the first days of January and July in each year; and the first half-year's rent, payable as before provided, shall be in

satisfaction of the rent due on the first day of January or the first day of July following the date of application.

9. The lessee must reside on the land selected within one year from the date of selection, and thereafter such residence shall be continuous for a period of ten years. The Land Board may dispense with residence if the lessee reside and continue to reside on lands contiguous to the lands held under lease.

10. The lessee shall put on the land comprised in his lease substantial improvements as under:—

(a.) Within one year from the date of his lease to a value equal to 2½ per cent. of the price of the land;

(b.) Within two years from the date of his lease to a value equal to another 2½ per cent. of the price of the land;

(c.) And within six years from the date of his lease, to a value equal to another 2½ per cent. of the price of the land;

and in addition thereto shall, within six years from the date of his lease, put substantial improvements of a permanent character to the value of £1 for every acre of first-class land, and 10s. per acre on second-class land.

Improvements existing on the land at the time of lease shall be deemed to be improvements made under this clause.

Substantial improvements of a permanent character mean and include reclamation from swamps, clearing of gorse, broom, sweetbriar, or scrub, cultivation, planting gardens, fencing, draining, making roads, sinking wells or water-tanks, constructing water-races, sheep-dips, making embankments or protective works of any kind, or in any way improving the character or fertility of the soil, and include the erection of any building.

11. The lessee must once a year properly cut and trim all live fences now on the land, or which may be planted upon the land during the term, and stub all gorse not growing as fences, and also stub all broom, sweetbriar, and other noxious plants.

12. The lessee must take alternately white and green or root crops; and on the removal of the third crop the land must be sown down with good permanent English grasses and clovers, and be allowed to remain as pasture for at least two years from the harvesting of last crop, before being again cropped.

13. The lessee must not cut the English grass for hay or seed the first year of the course.

14. At all times during the lease the land must be so farmed that not less than one-third of the farm be maintained in permanent pasture. But these conditions as to cropping shall not apply to sections of 5 acres or under.

15. The lessee must not burn any straw grown upon the land.

16. The lessee must once a year properly clean, clear from weeds, and keep open all creeks, drains, ditches, and watercourses which now are or may be upon the land, and the Land Board shall have the power at any time to enter upon and make any drain through the land that it may deem necessary.

17. In the event of the lessee failing to comply with any of the covenants hereinbefore mentioned relating to the trimming of live fences and stubbing gorse, broom, and sweetbriar, and to the cleaning, clearing from weeds, and keeping open all creeks, drains, ditches, and watercourses, it shall be lawful for the Commissioner of Crown Lands to have such work done, and to recover the cost of the same from the lessee.

18. All buildings erected upon the land shall be kept in good order and repair.

19. The lessee shall be liable for all rates, taxes, and assessments during the term.

20. No lessee shall subdivide, sublet, or transfer the land held by him under these regulations, except under and subject to the provisions of Part I. of the said Act.

21. No lessee shall hold more than one allotment, and such allotment shall be held for his sole use and benefit, and not for the use or benefit of any other person whomsoever.

22. All the provisions of the said Act, so far as applicable, shall extend and apply to the lands affected by these regulations, and to the applications and leases to be made and issued thereunder, and generally to the interests created, and the persons whose rights, liabilities, or interests are thereby affected; and the mention of any particular provision of the said Act shall not be deemed to exclude any other provision of the said Act applicable to the particular case.
