Deposit with tender.
- All tenders shall be accompanied by a deposit of 5 per cent. on the amount of the tender, which will be returned in case of non-acceptance of the tender, and in the case of a successful tenderer shall be retained as part-payment for the timber.
Tenders, and reports thereon, to be sent to Commissioner.
- The Conservator shall transmit such tenders, together with the Ranger’s report thereon, and his remarks and recommendations, to the Commissioner.
Highest or any tender not necessarily accepted.
- The highest or any of such tenders shall not necessarily be accepted, and the right is reserved by the Commissioner to allot the timber in such manner and on such conditions as, in his opinion, the circumstances of the case warrant: Provided that before accepting the tender he shall satisfy himself that the tenderer is the proprietor of a then-existing mill, and that the timber applied for is to supply such mill.
License issued on acceptance of tender.
- In the event of the acceptance of any tender, a license shall be issued to the tenderer as licensee, on payment of a license fee of £1 1s. to the Receiver of Land Revenue, and there shall be a maximum time provided for the removal of the timber, with conditions providing against waste in terms of Regulation 61.
Licensee to supply annual statement.
- The licensee shall make and deliver to the Conservator, at a period fixed by such Conservator in each year, a written statement of the quantity of timber such licensee has in hand on the several classes of land held by him.
Transfer of license.
- It shall be unlawful for the licensee to transfer, assign, or in any way dispose of his license, or of the timber, or of his interest therein to any other person until after the expiration of two years from the date at which the tender was accepted: Provided, however, that where the licensee proposes to sell the timber with his mill, plant, and appliances in their entirety, he may do so with the written approval of the Commissioner first obtained; and in such case the license may be transferred accordingly on payment of a fee of £1 1s. to the Receiver of Land Revenue. Such approval may be given or refused in the discretion of the Commissioner.

For half to one million feet, half in cash on acceptance of tender and half in six months thereafter;
For one to three million feet, one-third in cash on acceptance of tender, one-third in eight and one-third in sixteen months thereafter;
