map. All legal roads traversing a block must be properly surveyed and shown on map, and in cases where unsurveyed formed roads intersect such a block they must be similarly surveyed and shown.

Native names.

83. The Native names of all boundaries or natural features within or pertaining to the block must be ascertained, together with the names and positions of adjacent lands, and be shown on the map.

Mapping.

84. Maps should be neatly drawn, in accordance with specimens to be seen in any of the Survey Offices, to the sizes and scales given in Schedule A of the Appendix hereto. The whole boundary of the land forming the subject of the claim is to be conspicuously indicated by a tint of pink carried all round within it, and when islands are intended to be included in the claim they must be distinguished by the same tint. The map should have a plain title stating the Native name of the block, the survey district, and the land district in which the land lies. The boundaries of the survey districts and blocks, and also the number of the latter, must be shown upon the plan, together with the names of the applicants, and the names of those who pointed out the boundaries.

85. The scale of the map, the meridian of the circuit in which the block is situated, and the area must be plainly drawn. In the lower left-hand corner must be quoted the number, and the date of letter of instructions to the surveyor, and the number of the field-book. The map must bear a certificate signed by the surveyor making the survey in the form marked Schedule B in the Appendix hereto, or to the like effect. After examination the map, if in order, is to be approved by the Chief Surveyor of the district. A copy of the plan or a mounted cloth tracing must also be furnished by the surveyor, to be used for the purpose of the Native Land Court; and payment for the tracing, to be fixed by the Chief Surveyor, will be a charge upon the block.

No additions to be made to approved plans.

86. Original plans of blocks which have been approved by the Chief Surveyor must not have further survey work or detail of a permanent character added to them. Subdivisions of such original blocks as ordered by the Native Land Court, or made at the instance of the owners of the land, must be on separate maps.

Charging orders.

87. All claims for charging orders under section 65 of “The Native Land Court Act, 1894,” must be made in accordance with sections 2 and 3 of “The Native and Maori Land Laws Amendment Act, 1902,” and the rules and regulations of the Native Land Court.

No Chief Surveyor is bound to certify to costs which exceed, in his opinion, what is a fair charge. Surveyors’ charges when approved by the Surveyor-General are not open to revision by the Native Land Court.

Surveyors to be authorised.

88. All surveys undertaken for the purposes of the Court, or for lands dealt with under any Act affecting Native lands, when not done by the official staff, must be made by licensed surveyors specially authorised by the Surveyor-General, who shall issue a specific authority in writing in each case.

SURVEYS UNDER PUBLIC WORKS AND OTHER ACTS, RAILWAYS, ROADS, ETC.

Regulations 1 to 78 shall equally apply to surveys and plans of land taken for roads, railways, or other public purpose under the provisions of the Public Works Act or any other Acts wherever they are not inconsistent with the following special regulations.

Traverse connections.

89. The traverse of the survey should be connected to the corners of the sections or properties through which the road passes, at intervals not greater than two miles and a half, to the trig. stations of the district. The regulations for ordinary road-surveys, already prescribed, will equally apply in these cases.
