✨ Sawmill License Regulations
Oct. 28.] THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE. 2707
not cut, or sell, or otherwise dispose of
any timber on the land until the saw-
mill is in full working operation.
(4.) If at any time the mill is closed for a longer
time than the Warden thinks necessary
or reasonable, he may give the licensee
notice in writing to resume work within
the period (not exceeding one month)
named in the notice.
(5.) If the licensee fails or neglects to resume
and continue the bona fide working of the
mill in terms of such notice, the Warden
may forfeit the license.
(6.) The Warden may require the licensee to
use a brand for marking his timber, and
to register the same (without fee) in the
Warden’s Court in a book to be kept for
the purpose by the Clerk of the Court.
(7.) In no case shall any two registered brands
be the same or so like one another as to
be calculated to deceive.
(8.) The Minister, or any local authority, may
at any time, without compensation, make
roads or tracks through the land com-
prised in the license or in any reserved
area, and for such purpose cut and use
any timber thereon.
(9.) The licensee shall be entitled to occupy,
for his sawmilling purposes, so much of
the surface of the land comprised in the
license as is reasonably required for his
sawmill and sawmilling works.
(10.) The licensee shall at all times keep full
and accurate accounts of all timber cut
by him under his license, and permit
the accounts to be inspected at any time
by any Inspector, and shall also furnish
to the Receiver monthly returns showing
particulars of all timber cut during the
preceding month, together with such
other details as the Receiver or the
Inspector requires.
(11.) Subject to the specific provisions of regu-
lations relating to timber-cutting rights,
the provisions of the Mining Act and the
regulations thereunder relating to the
grant, registration, transfer, protection,
inspection, surrender, forfeiture, and
abandonment of mining privileges, and
the terms, conditions, reservations, and
provisions subject to which mining privi-
leges may be granted, and shall be
deemed to be held, shall apply to sawmill
licenses :
Provided that at any time within three
months after surrender, forfeiture, or
abandonment, the licensee shall be entitled
to remove all buildings and plant belong-
ing to him on the land.
(12.) Whenever the licensee of a sawmill area
obtains a license for a reserved area, the
first-mentioned license shall be surrendered
and cancelled :
Provided that the Warden shall grant
him, without fee, the right to use for the
purpose of working such reserved area the
sites (if any) of any mill, building, or
tramway belonging to him on the first-
mentioned area.
- When making his application for the license,
or at any time thereafter during the currency of the
license, the applicant or licensee may, by application
in the form numbered 67 in the First Schedule
hereto, apply to have reserved for him not more than
three additional areas not exceeding 200 acres each,
which shall be so situated with respect to each other
and to the area in the application or license that the
four shall form one area within continuous boundary-
lines, and such boundary-lines shall be deemed to
be continuous, notwithstanding that the area may
be intersected by road or railway-lines, and in the
event of the areas above referred to being situated
not less than four miles distant from a railway-line,
or a port, the Warden may grant a fourth additional
area of 200 acres subject to similar conditions. And
the Warden may, by certificate under his hand in the
form numbered 68 in the First Schedule hereto,
reserve the same accordingly upon being satisfied
that the sawmill plant referred to in subclause (1)
of the next preceding clause of these regulations
has or will be duly provided and fitted up as therein
required, and that in the case of any existing license
all its conditions have been duly complied with to
date ; and with respect to such application and cer-
tificate the following provisions shall apply :—
(1.) Subclauses (1) and (2) of clause 108 of these
regulations shall apply.
(2.) The certificate shall continue in force for
one year, but may be renewed from year
to year so long as the license continues
in force, and shall ipso facto cease and
determine with the license.
(3.) The certificate, and each annual renewal
thereof, shall be registered.
(4.) The renewal may be effected in the same
manner, mutatis mutandis, as in the case
of a tunnel prospecting license, and for
that purpose clause 11 of these regula-
tions, with all necessary modifications,
shall apply.
(5.) There shall be payable in respect of the
certificate, and of each annual renewal
thereof, an acreage-rent at the rate of
ls. per acre, and such rent shall be pay-
able by two equal half-yearly instal-
ments in advance.
(6.) The certificate shall not be transferable
apart from the license.
(7.) The certificate shall not confer any right
to occupy the land or cut timber or
otherwise use the same, but at any time
during its currency the licensee may
exchange his existing license for a new
sawmill license for any continuous area
(not exceeding 200 acres) out of the land
comprised in the certificate.
(8.) Such new license shall specify the certifi-
cate out of which the land comprised in
the new license is taken.
(9.) The Warden, when granting the new license,
shall, by memorandum under his hand
on the certificate, cancel the certificate
as to the land comprised in the new
license, and thereafter the certificate
shall be deemed to relate only to the
residue of the land, and the acreage-rent
under the certificate shall abate accord-
ingly.
(10.) Such memorandum shall be registered.
(11.) Upon the grant of the new license all re-
ferences herein contained to the former
license shall apply to the new license in
lieu of to the former license.
