Rural Land in Auckland Land District open for Selection
on Lease in Perpetuity.

PLUNKET, Governor.

IN pursuance and exercise of the powers and authorities
conferred upon me by section one hundred and thirty-
six of “The Land Act, 1892,” and section two of “The
Bush and Swamp Crown Lands Settlement Act, 1903,” I,
William Lee, Baron Plunket, the Governor of the Colony
of New Zealand, do hereby declare and provide as follows,
that is to say:—

1. The rural land enumerated in the Schedule hereto
   is hereby set apart for disposal by way of selection on
   and after the eleventh day of January, one thousand nine
   hundred and five, at the rental specified in the said
   Schedule.

2. The said land may be selected on lease in perpetuity
   only, as provided by section one hundred and twenty-one of
   “The Land Act, 1892,” as it contains, or is supposed to
   contain, metal, mineral, or valuable stone, and shall not be
   purchased for cash.

3. For the purposes of “The Bush and Swamp Crown
   Lands Settlement Act, 1903,” the land enumerated in the
   Schedule hereto shall be deemed to be “scrub land.”

4. No general rate shall be levied or collected by any local
   authority from the said land for the period of two years
   from the date from which 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.

5. 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 two years shall not be demanded: provided
   that if at any time during the first five years of his occu-
   pacy the selector disposes of his interest in the land the
   rent so conceded shall be paid by him in full, and there-
   upon the Land Board may remit such instalments of rent
   payable by the incoming tenant, not exceeding in the aggre-
   gate the amount of rent previously conceded to the selector,
   as the Board shall think fit.
