THE HONOURABLE GEORGE FOW LDS PRESIDING IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by section two hundred and four of “The Land Act, 1908,” it is enacted that the Governor in Council is authorised to make regulations under which advances of money may be made by the Minister of Finance from any sums voted for the purpose by Parliament to occupiers of village-settlement lands under section two hundred and three of the said Act, in order that they may be enabled to profitably occupy their respective allotments:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Dominion of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the powers and authorities conferred by the said Act, and acting by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said Dominion, doth hereby make the following regulations upon which advances of money may be made to occupiers of lands in Rangataua Village Settlement, Wellington Land District:—

REGULATIONS.

1. An advance of a sum not exceeding £50 may be made to the lessee within the first five years from the date of selection towards the cost of fencing, and building a dwellinghouse.

2. Applications for advances must be made to the Commissioner of Crown Lands, at Wellington.

3. No advance shall exceed three-fourths the value of the fencing and building erected, or to be erected, by the lessee upon his section.

4. No advance shall be made save on the written certificate of an Inspector appointed in that behalf by the Land Board, specifying the total value of the work done by the lessee, the amount to which tenders have been accepted for the erection of any fencing and building, and the amount of the advance to which he is entitled, and certifying that such work has been well and faithfully done and to the Inspector’s satisfaction.

5. Such advance, together with interest thereon at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum computed from the date of advance, shall be repayable by the lessee by equal half-yearly instalments in advance, extending over such period, being not less than five nor more than ten years, as, with the approval of the Minister, the Land Board thinks fit to prescribe. All such payments shall be made to the Receiver of Land Revenue, at Wellington, on the half-yearly rent-days: Provided that the lessee may at any time during such period repay the whole or any less number of the then future instalments under a duly proportionate rebate of interest.

6. A certificate under the hand of the said Commissioner shall at all times and from time to time be conclusive evidence as to the date and amount of the advance, the amounts and due dates of the instalments, and the sums paid and unpaid in respect thereof.

7. As long as any instalment remains unpaid, the lessee shall insure all buildings and erections in the name of His Majesty, in a sum equal to the full insurable value thereof, and for the purposes of this provision the covenant for insurance set out in the Fifth Schedule to “The Land Transfer Act, 1908,” shall be implied in the lease.
