District Lands and Survey Office,
Invercargill, 19th December, 1904.

NOTICE is hereby given that the undermentioned village-homestead allotments will be open for selection on lease in perpetuity, at this office, on Tuesday, the 28th day of February, 1905, under the provisions of “The Land Act, 1892,” and “The Bush and Swamp Crown Lands Settlement Act, 1903.”

If more than one application is received for the same allotment on the same day the order of selection will be decided by ballot.

For the purposes of “The Bush and Swamp Crown Lands Settlement Act, 1903,” the lands enumerated the First Schedule hereto are classed as “light-bush land,” and the lands in the Second Schedule are classed as “scrub land.”

No general rate shall be levied or collected by any local authority from the said lands for the period of three years in the case of light-bush land, and two years in the case of scrub land, from the date from which in each case respectively such land is disposed of, and no local authority shall have power to levy or collect any such rate from such land during such period.

After the first half-year’s rent has been paid by the selector the further instalments of rent payable by him for a period of three years in the case of light-bushland, and two years in the case of scrub land, shall not be demanded: provided that if at any time during the first five years of his occupancy the selector disposes of his interest in the land the rent so conceded shall be paid by him in full, and thereupon the Land Board may remit such instalments of rent payable by the incoming tenant, not exceeding in the aggregate the amount of rent previously conceded to the selector, as the Board shall think fit.
