District Lands and Survey Office, Auckland, 6th October, 1905.

NOTICE is hereby given that the undermentioned land will be open for sale or selection, at this office, either for cash, for occupation with right of purchase, or for lease in perpetuity, at the option of the selector, on Wednesday, the 6th day of December, 1905, under the provisions of “The Land Act, 1892,” and “The Bush and Swamp Crown Lands Settlement Act, 1903.”

For the purposes of “The Bush and Swamp Crown Lands Settlement Act, 1903,” the land is classed as “heavy-bush land.”

No general rate shall be levied or collected by any local authority from the said land for a period of four 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.

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 four years 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.

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