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

   hereby set apart for disposal by way of selection on and after
   the twelfth day of April, one thousand nine hundred and
   five, at the rentals specified in the said Schedule.
2. The said lands may be selected on lease in perpetuity
   only, as provided by section one hundred and twenty-one of
   “The Land Act, 1892,” as they contain, or are 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 lands enumerated in the
   said Schedule hereto shall be deemed to be “heavy-bush
   land.”
4. No general rate shall be levied or collected by any local
   authority from the said lands for the period of four years
   from the date from which in each case respectively such
   lands are disposed of, and no local authority shall have
   power to levy or collect any such rate from such lands 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 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.
