[No. 52
Provided that the first such payment
of royalty shall be due and payable on
the same day as the first half-yearly
instalment of rent, and be in respect of
the royalty for the period elapsing be-
tween the date of the license and such
day:
Provided further that all sums paid
in respect of royalty for any period shall,
to the extent of the rent payable for the
same period, be deemed to be in or to-
wards satisfaction of such rent.
(8.) The license may be in the form num-
bered 66 in the First Schedule hereto.
- When making his application for the license,
or at any time thereafter during the currency of the
license, the applicant or licensee may, by applica-
tion in the form numbered 67 in the First
Schedule hereto, apply to have reserved for him
not more than three additional areas not exceeding
200 acres each, adjoining the land comprised in
the license, and the Warden may, by certificate
under his hand, in the form numbered 68 in the
First Schedule hereto, reserve the same accord-
ingly upon being satisfied that the sawmill plant
referred to in subclause (1) of the next-succeeding
clause hereof has or will be duly provided and
fitted up as therein required, and that in the case
of an existing license all its conditions have been
duly complied with to date; and with respect to
such application and certificate the following pro-
visions shall apply:—
(1.) Subclauses (1) and (2) of the last-preced-
ing clause hereof shall apply.
(2.) The certificate shall continue in force for
one year, but may be renewed from year
to year so long as the license continues
in force, and shall ipso facto cease and
determine with the license.
(3.) The certificate, and each annual renewal
thereof, shall be registered.
(4.) The renewal may be effected in the same
manner, mutatis mutandis, as in the case
of a tunnel prospecting license, and for
that purpose clause 11 of these regula-
tions, with all necessary modifications,
shall apply.
(5.) There shall be payable in respect of the
certificate, and of each annual renewal
thereof, an acreage-rent at the rate of
1s. per acre, and such rent shall be pay-
able by two equal half-yearly instal-
ments in advance.
(6.) The certificate shall not be transferable
apart from the license.
(7.) The certificate shall not confer any right
to occupy the land or cut timber or
otherwise use the same, but at any time
during its currency the licensee may
exchange his existing license for a new
sawmill license for any continuous area
(not exceeding 200 acres) out of the
land comprised in the certificate.
(8.) Such new license shall specify the certifi-
cate out of which the land comprised in
the new license is taken.
(9.) The Warden, when granting the new
license, shall, by memorandum under
his hand on the certificate, cancel the
certificate as to the land comprised in
the new license, and thereafter the cer-
tificate shall be deemed to relate only
to the residue of the land, and the
acreage-rent under the certificate shall
abate accordingly.
(10.) Such memorandum shall be registered.
(11.) Upon the grant of the new license all re-
ferences herein contained to the former
license shall apply to the new license in
lieu of to the former license.
(12.) As against his liability for acreage-rent
under the new license, the licensee
shall be credited with the sums paid by
him for acreage-rent under the former
license or under the certificate, for any
period subsequent to the commence-
ment of the term of the new license:
Provided that, in the case of acreage-
rent paid as aforesaid under the certifi-
cate, the sum to be credited as aforesaid
shall be the acreage-rent so paid in
respect of the area comprised in the new
license, being the area as to which the
certificate has been cancelled.
- The conditions subject to which a sawmill
license shall be deemed to be granted, and shall be
held, shall in every case include the following con-
ditions:—
(1.) The licensee shall, within six months after
the date of his license, provide and fit up,
either upon the land comprised therein,
or on some other site approved by the
Warden, a substantial and fully equipped
sawmill plant, including all the neces-
sary buildings thereto appertaining; and
also shall at all times thereafter during
the currency of the license keep such
plant in continuous working operation,
unless valid and satisfactory reasons can
be given to the Warden for any tem-
porary stoppage.
(2.) If such plant is not already provided and
fitted up when the license is granted,
the Warden shall require the licensee to
give security to his satisfaction that it
will be provided and fitted up within six
months thereafter.
(3.) Except for the purpose of constructing the
sawmill, and any tramway or other
work in connection therewith, the
licensee shall not cut or sell or other-
wise dispose of any timber on the
land until the sawmill is in full working
operation.
(4.) If at any time the mill is closed for a
longer time than the Warden thinks
necessary or reasonable, he may give
the licensee notice in writing to resume
work within the period (not exceeding
one month) named in the notice.
(5.) If the licensee fails or neglects to resume
and continue the bond fide working of
the mill in terms of such notice, the
Warden may forfeit the license.
(6.) The Warden may require the licensee to
use a brand for marking his timber,
and to register the same (without fee)
in the Warden’s Court in a book to be
kept for the purpose by the Clerk of
the Court.
(7.) In no case shall any two registered brands
be the same or so like one another as
to be calculated to deceive.
(8.) The Minister, or any local authority, may
at any time, without compensation, make
roads or tracks through the land com-
prised in the license, or in any reserved
area, and for such purpose cut and use
any timber thereon.
