contained or implied, shall, on the expiration by effluxion of
time of the original and every renewed term, have a recurrent
right of renewal of the lease, or to valuation for all substantial
improvements of a permanent character made or owned by
him and then existing on the demised land: Provided that
such right shall exist only to the extent and subject to the
conditions following, that is to say:—

(1.) Not sooner than nine nor later than six months
before the expiration of any term by effluxion
of time two separate valuations shall be made in
manner prescribed (mutatis mutandis) by sections
79 and 80 of “The Land Act, 1892,” of
(a.) All such improvements as aforesaid; and of
(b.) The annual ground-rent of the land (ex-
clusive of such improvements as aforesaid) for a
fresh term of twenty-one years.

(2.) After the making and publishing of the aforesaid
valuations, which shall be effected by serving a
copy thereof on the lessee and another copy on
the lessor, but not later than one month before
the date of such expiration as aforesaid, the
lessee shall, by notice in writing served on the
lessor, elect whether he will accept a new lease
of the demised land (including the aforesaid im-
provements) for a fresh term of twenty-one years,
computed from the date of such expiration as
aforesaid, at the annual ground-rent ascertained
by valuation as aforesaid, and subject in all other
respects to the same covenants and conditions as
those of this present lease.

(3.) If for any reason the lessee does not duly elect in
manner aforesaid to accept such new lease, or if,
having duly elected, he for any reason does not
execute such new lease when requested by the
lessor so to do, his right to a new lease shall be
and be deemed to be abandoned, and the land
shall be disposed of by lease, at such time, in such
manner, and subject to such conditions, not incon-
sistent with the said Act and its amendments, and
the regulations for the time being in force there-
under, as the lessor thinks fit: Provided that it
shall be one of the conditions of the new lease
that the new lessee pays to the lessor the amount
at which the improvements (if then existing) have
been valued as aforesaid, or such less amount as
the lessor thinks just, having regard to the extent
to which such improvements have deteriorated
since the date of the said valuation; and all
moneys actually received by the lessor in respect
of such valuation shall be paid over to the lessee
under this present lease as soon as the lessor is
satisfied that the new lessee has been admitted
into full and quiet possession of the premises:
Provided further that in no case shall the lessee
under this present lease have any claim against
the lessor in respect of any such improvements,
or of the value thereof, save to the extent of the
moneys which are actually received as aforesaid
from the new lessee, and available for payment,
and which the lessee under this present lease
becomes actually entitled to.

(4.) When no valid bid or tender is received for any
allotment heretofore or hereafter advertised for
disposal under the provisions of the said Act, such

allotment may at any time within six months
from the date of the auction, or opening of tenders,
be taken up, subject to all the other provisions of
the said Act and these regulations, at the upset
price or rental.

In witness whereof the seal of the District Maori
Land Council has been hereunto affixed, and we have here-
unto subscribed our names, the day and year first above
written.
