District Lands and Survey Office,
Christchurch, 9th February, 1903.

IT is hereby notified that the undermentioned reserve
will be offered for lease by public auction, at the
Courthouse, Ashburton, on Thursday, 26th March, 1903, at
2 o’clock p.m.

In the event of the lots not being disposed of at auction,
they will immediately thereafter be open for lease on
application, upon the same terms, at the District Lands and
Survey Office, Christchurch.

SCHEDULE.

CANTERBURY LAND DISTRICT.—ASHBURTON COUNTY.

Locality and Description of Reserve.

Reserve 2012 is situated adjacent to Mr. John Stud-
holme’s Coldstream Estate, at a distance of about eight
miles and a half in a south-westerly direction from the
Hinds Railway-station, and near to the north bank of the
Rangitata River, and comprises open plain land, light soil,
in native pasture. The reserve as a whole has been fenced
in, and there is a subdivision fence running parallel to the
south-western boundary. The lessees will be required to
maintain the fences and other improvements to the satisfac-
tion of the Commissioner of Crown Lands. A county
water-race intersects the reserve.

CONDITIONS.

1. There are no restrictions or limitations as to the
   number of lots which one person may acquire, and no
   declaration is required. Residence and improvements are
   not compulsory. No compensation shall be claimed by the
   lessee, nor shall any be allowed by the Government, on
   account of improvements, nor for any other cause; but, in
   the event of the lands being again offered for lease after the
   expiration of the term, they will be weighted with valuation
   for buildings, fencing, or plantations effected by the outgoing
   tenant. Such valuation shall be made by an appraiser ap-
   pointed by the Land Board, and in the event of the lessee
   not agreeing with the valuation so made, then the amount of
   the valuation shall be determined by arbitration. The out-
   going tenant shall not have any right or claim against the
   Crown or the Board in respect of the value of any improve-
   ments made by him, but the incoming tenant shall pay the
   amount of the aforesaid valuation of the same before being
   admitted to possession of the lands.
2. Possession will be given on the day of sale.
3. The leases shall be for the term specified in the
   Schedule, but shall be subject to termination by twelve
   months’ notice in the event of the lands being required by
   Government.
4. The lands are let for grazing purposes, and lessees will
   not be permitted to break up or crop any of the same with-
   out the written permission of the Land Board first had and
   obtained.
5. Upon the fall of the hammer, every lessee shall pay a
   lease fee of £1 1s., together with a half-year’s rent.
6. The lessee shall not plant any gorse fences upon the
   land, but shall prevent the growth or spread of gorse, broom,
   or sweetbriar upon the land comprised in the leases; and
   shall with all reasonable speed remove, or cause to be
   removed, all gorse, broom, sweetbriar, or other noxious
   weeds or plants, as may be directed by the Commissioner of
   Crown Lands.
7. The lessee shall destroy all rabbits upon the lands
   comprised in the leases, and shall prevent their increase or
   spread, to the satisfaction of the Commissioner of Crown
   Lands, or an officer appointed by him to inspect the ground.

Further particulars may be obtained on application to the
District Lands and Survey Office, Christchurch.
