[No. 43

of time two separate valuations shall be made in
manner prescribed (mutatis mutandis) by sections
79 and 80 of “The Land Act, 1892,” of
(a.) All such improvements as aforesaid; and of
(b.) The annual ground-rent of the land (ex-
clusive of such improvements as aforesaid) for a
fresh term of twenty-one years.

(2.) After the making and publishing of the aforesaid
valuations, which shall be effected by serving a
copy thereof on the lessee and another copy on
the lessor, but not later than one month
before the date of such expiration as aforesaid,
the lessee shall, by notice in writing served on
the lessor, elect whether he will accept a new
lease of the demised land (including the aforesaid
improvements) for a fresh term of twenty-one
years, computed from the date of such expiration
as aforesaid, at the annual ground-rent ascertained
by valuation as aforesaid, and subject in all other
respects to the same covenants and conditions as
those of this present lease.

(3.) If for any reason the lessee does not duly elect in
manner aforesaid to accept such new lease, or if,
having duly elected, he for any reason does not
execute such new lease when requested by the
lessor so to do, his right to a new lease
shall be and be deemed to be abandoned, and
the land shall be disposed of by lease at such
time, in such manner, and subject to such con-
ditions, not inconsistent with the said Act and its
amendments and the regulations for the time being
in force thereunder, as the lessor thinks fit: Pro-
vided that it shall be one of the conditions of the
new lease that the new lessee pays to the lessor
the amount at which the improvements (if then
existing) have been valued as aforesaid, or such
less amount as the lessor thinks just, having
regard to the extent to which such improvements
have deteriorated since the date of the said
valuation; and all moneys actually received by
the lessor in respect of such valuation shall be
paid over to the lessee under this present lease as
soon as the lessor is satisfied that the new lessee
has been admitted into full and quiet possession
of the premises: Provided further that in no
case shall the lessee under this present lease have
any claim against the lessor in respect of any
such improvements, or of the value thereof, save
to the extent of the moneys which are actually
received as aforesaid from the new lessee, and
available for payment, and which the lessee
under this present lease becomes actually entitled
to.

(4.) When no valid bid or tender is received for any
allotment heretofore or hereafter advertised for
disposal under the provisions of the said Act, such
allotment may at any time within six months
from the date of the auction, or opening of tenders,
be taken up, subject to all the other provisions of
the said Act and these regulations, at the upset
price or rental.

   bid for any lot, the lot in dispute shall be put up again at
   the last preceding bid.

2. The highest bidder of any lot shall, upon the fall of
   the hammer, pay to the auctioneer the first half-year’s rent
   in advance by way of deposit, which shall represent the half-
   year’s rent as from the 1st July, 1907, and shall cover the
   period between the date of sale and such 1st July, 1907, and
   shall also deposit the sum of £1 for the lease fee.

3. The second half-year’s rent shall become payable on
   the 1st January, 1908, and thenceforth the rent shall be paid
   half-yearly in advance.

4. As soon as may be after the highest bidder is ascer-
   tained, a lease will be prepared. Such lease will be for a
   term of five years, without any right of renewal.

5. In cases where any of the allotments are subject to the
   payment of the value of the improvements thereon, the re-
   spective amounts thereof shall be specified in the conditions,
   and such value shall be paid at the same time and in the
   same manner as the deposit heretofore mentioned, unless
   some other arrangement is assented to in writing by the
   outgoing lessee or person interested. Should the highest
   bidder neglect or fail to comply with any of the conditions,
   his deposit-money and lease fee shall thereupon be forfeited
   to the Board, who shall be at full liberty either to enforce
   the letting or to relet the premises at such time and place
   as it thinks fit, but in no case shall the lessee be relieved
   from his liability.

   compensation either for any improvements that may be
   placed upon the land or for any other cause: Provided,

   with valuation for any fencing then on the land which has
   been erected by the outgoing lessee during the term of his
   lease, or paid for by him on taking up the lease, and which is
   in a good state of repair, and such valuation shall be paid by
   the then incoming tenant before being admitted to possession
   of the land.

   otherwise dispose of the whole or any portion of the land
   comprised in the lease except with the written consent of
   the Board first had and obtained.

   shall prevent their increase or spread to the satisfaction of
