Sept. 17.] THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE. 1549

And whereas by an Order in Council dated the eleventh day of December, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-four, certain regulations were made by the Governor under the above in part recited Act, and published in the New Zealand Gazette, No. 91, of the thirteenth day of December, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-four: And whereas it has been found desirable to amend the said regulations as hereinafter appears:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the powers and authorities conferred by the said Act, and by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said colony, doth hereby revoke clause sixteen of the said regulations, and doth in lieu thereof make the following regulation:—

REGULATION.

Where the member is a married man with a family, an advance of £30, and where the member is a single man, an advance of £10, may, on the recommendation of the Commissioner, be made towards the cost of erecting a dwelling-house on a section, fencing, and making a garden; such advance not to exceed three-fourths of the value of the proposed building, fencing, and garden, and to bear interest at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum. Such amounts may be afterwards deducted from the earnings of the member in such proportions, or added to the capital value, as the Commissioner may in each instance determine; but the buildings will remain the property of the Crown until wholly paid for, and, if not wholly paid for when the lease or license is issued, then the value remaining unpaid shall be added to the capital value of the land, and 4 per cent. or 5 per cent. per annum thereon be added to the rent, according to the tenure, as the case may be. Buildings of the value of £40 or over shall be insured against loss or damage by fire in the name of the Queen to the full amount of the advance in some fire insurance office carrying on business in New Zealand to be approved of by the Commissioner. This regulation shall not be acted upon without the special authority of the Minister of Lands, but, subject thereto, shall be applicable to lands already taken up under the regulations made under the said Act.

Acting Clerk of the Executive Council.
