SPECIAL CONDITIONS.

The licensee of any run upon which deer range shall,
upon receipt of due notice in that behalf, allow any legal
holder of a license to stalk deer within the district in which
such run lies free and unrestricted rights of ingress, egress,
and regress upon and over any portion of the run for the
purpose of stalking deer.

The licensee of every run shall, during the second and
every succeeding year of the term of his license, plant with
suitable trees, to the satisfaction of the Commissioner of
Crown Lands, an area of at least one acre upon some part of
his run. The number of trees so planted upon every acre
shall be at least one thousand. The areas so planted shall
be securely fenced in with a rabbit- and stock-proof fence ;
all failures and losses shall from time to time be replanted
as may be found necessary; and the plantation shall be
protected, trimmed, and maintained during the term of the
license to the satisfaction of the Commissioner of Crown
Lands.

The value of improvements on each run will be finally
determined by valuation at least three months before the
expiry of the present license in accordance with the pro-
visions of section 244 of the Land Act, 1908. The amount
of such valuation shall be paid by the incoming tenant either
by way of one cash payment to be made before he is admitted
to possession of the run; or he may elect to pay for the same
by half-yearly instalments of interest and sinking fund ex-
tending over a period of fourteen years, the first of such half-
yearly instalments to be paid before he is admitted to pos-
session of the run. Such half-yearly instalments will be at
the rate of £5 ls. for every £100 of the amount of valua-
tion placed on the improvements, and they will be payable
by the licensee on the first days of March and September
in every year with the rent of the run. The licensee may,
however, at any time pay the whole or any less number
of the then future instalments under a duly proportionate
rebate of interest.

The licensee shall not, during the months of December,
January, February, March, April, May, and June, or such
other months not exceeding altogether seven in any one year
as the Commissioner of Crown Lands shall from time to
time determine, burn the grass on his run.
