IN pursuance and exercise of the powers and authorities

Bush and Swamp Crown Lands Settlement Act, 1903,” I,
William Lee, Baron Plunket, the Governor of the Colony

   dred and six, 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 “light-bush
   land.”
4. No general rate shall be levied or collected by any local
   authority from the said lands for the period of three 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 three years shall not be demanded: provided
   that if at any time during the first five years of his occu-
   pancy 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.
