NOTICE is hereby given that the small grazing-run described in the Schedule hereto will be open for lease on application, at this office, in terms of Part V of “The Land Act, 1892,” and section 2 of “The Bush and Swamp Crown Lands Settlement Act, 1903,” on Wednesday, the 25th day of April, 1906.

For the purposes of “The Bush and Swamp Crown Lands Settlement Act, 1903,” the run in the said Schedule hereto has been classed as “scrub land.”

No general rate shall be levied or collected by any local authority from the said run for the period of two years from the date from which such run is disposed of, and no local authority shall have power to levy or collect any such rate from such run 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 two 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 run 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.
