channel runs shall have the right to the reasonable use and
enjoyment of a reasonable proportion of the water that would
flow in such channel if it were not stopped or diverted by any
other lessee; and, for the purpose of securing such right as
between the respective lessees, it is hereby declared that no
lessee on whose land any portion of such channel runs shall
at any time alter such portion, or stop or divert the water
flowing therein, save to such extent as the Land Board deems
reasonable, and the decision of the Land Board shall be final
and conclusive.

27. The Land Board, or other persons authorised by such
    Board, shall have the right, at all reasonable times, to inspect
    each dwelling and view the condition and state of repair
    thereof.

28. The lessee of any dwelling shall pay all rates, taxes,
    and assessments levied on or payable in respect of his dwell-
    ing during the term of the lease.

29. In the event of the forfeiture or surrender of any
    tenancy or lease, the tenant or lessee shall be entitled to com-
    pensation for the then value, to be determined by an appraiser
    appointed by the Land Board, of any permanent improve-
    ments which, with the consent of the Land Board first obtained,
    have been effected or added to the dwelling by him during his
    tenancy or lease, less any moneys that may be due or owing by
    him either in respect of rent, insurance, rates, or on any
    other account whatever.

30. If and so often as the tenant or lessee makes default
    in the due and full payment of any rent under the tenancy or
    lease, or of any sum payable in respect of insurance or rates
    as aforesaid, or of any other moneys payable under the tenancy
    or lease, or in the faithful observance or performance of any
    other of the provisions of these regulations, then and in any
    such case the Land Board shall call on the tenant or lessee
    to show cause why his interest therein should not cease and
    determine, and in the event of the cause shown being un-
    satisfactory the Land Board shall forfeit the tenancy or lease,
    subject nevertheless to the provisions of Regulation 29
    respecting valuation of improvements; but such forfeiture
    shall not affect any right or remedy on the part of His Ma-
    jesty as to recovery of rent in arrear or otherwise, or release
    the tenant or lessee from any penalty or liability in respect
    to anything done or omitted to be done by him.

31. If the tenant, lessee, or owner of any dwelling shall
    commit, or suffer to be committed, upon any such part of such
    dwelling any nuisance of any kind, or shall be of bad character,
    or shall permit such dwelling to be frequented by persons of
    bad character, or shall be convicted of a crime, or shall in any
    way do or suffer to be done any act or thing which, in the
    opinion of the Land Board, shall be an annoyance to the
    lessor or to any other tenant, lessee, owner, or occupier in
    the vicinity, the Land Board may, by notice in writing served
    upon such tenant, lessee, or owner, forthwith cancel any such
    tenancy, lease, or title; and such dwelling shall thereupon
    revert to the Crown without any right to compensation on
    account of such cancellation accruing to such tenant, lessee,
    or owner.

32. Every agreement for a weekly tenancy under the Act
    shall be in the form or to the effect set forth in Form B in the
    Schedule hereto, and may contain such additional provisions
    not inconsistent with “The Workers’ Dwellings Act, 1905,”
    or these regulations as, with the approval of the Minister of
    Labour, the Land Board thinks fit.

33. There shall be payable in respect of every lease or cer-
    tificate of title under this Act for the preparation and regis-
    tration thereof a fee of ten shillings, and for the consent and
    registration of any transfer or other disposition other than
    mortgage a like fee shall be paid. In respect of every
    transfer, mortgage, or other disposition there shall also be
    paid such stamp duty or registration fees as are prescribed
    by “The Stamp Act, 1882,” “The Land Transfer Act, 1885,”
    and any amendments thereof respectively.

34. Every lease shall be prepared and executed in triplicate
    by the Commissioner of Crown Lands on behalf of His Majesty
    the King, and the lessee, in the form or to the effect set forth
    in Form C in the Schedule hereto, and after such execution
    shall be registered by the Commissioner under “The Land
    Transfer Act, 1885,” or any Act that may hereafter be passed
    in lieu thereof, or in like manner, as nearly as may be, mutatis
    mutandis, as a certificate of title is registered, and the lease
    which is retained in the office of the District Land Registrar
    shall form a folium of the register-book in such office, and on
    it all dealings therewith shall be registered; but no fee shall
    be payable by way of contribution to the assurance fund on
    the registration of any such lease. Every certificate of title
    issued in respect of the fee-simple of any dwelling under this
    Act shall in like manner be registered under “The Land
    Transfer Act, 1885,” and shall be in the form or to the effect
    set forth in Form D in the Schedule hereto. All dealings
    with the dwellings comprised in any such lease or certificate of
    title shall be made in accordance with the provisions of the
    last-mentioned Acts, and be in all respects subject thereto;

but no transfer or other dealing with any lease or title shall
be valid unless all the conditions upon which the lease or title
was granted have been complied with up to the date of such
transfer or other dealing, and the consent of the Land Board
thereto shall have been obtained.

35. In respect of every weekly tenancy the memorandum of
    agreement shall be prepared in duplicate, and such agreement
    shall be executed in duplicate by the Commissioner of Crown
    Lands, on behalf of His Majesty the King, and the tenant.
    One copy of such agreement shall be retained for record in
    the office of the Commissioner of Crown Lands, and the
    other copy shall be handed to the tenant.
