REGULATIONS.

1. In these regulations—

"Minister" means the Minister of Lands:

"Occupier" means the person by whom or on whose
behalf any property which is liable to be rated
under the said Act is actually occupied, if that
person is in occupation by virtue of a tenancy
which was for not less than six months certain;
and as to property so rateable and occupied by
virtue of a tenancy not coming within the above
description, and also in the case of unoccupied
property so rateable, means the owner of the same;
and as to Crown lands, whatever may be the term
of the tenancy thereof, means the lessee or licensee
thereof, or where there is no such lessee or licensee
means the Minister of Lands.

2. A roll of all occupiers shall be prepared by and kept
   in the office of the Commissioner of Crown Lands for the
   Auckland Land District, and the said Commissioner shall
   from time to time amend the same so as to insure that all
   changes of occupation are duly recorded therein.

3. No occupier who acquires his interest in any land
   subject to the said Act after the compilation of the roll
   in accordance with the last preceding regulation shall be
   entitled to vote at any election of an arbitrator as herein-
   after provided unless he notifies the Commissioner of
   Crown Lands at Auckland of the acquisition of his interest
   at least one month prior to the date of that election :
   Provided that if the said Commissioner has entered the
   name of the new occupier upon the aforesaid roll, that
   occupier shall be entitled to vote notwithstanding that he
   has not given the prescribed notice.

4. When the Minister proposes to obtain an advance
   from the Superintendent under the New Zealand State-
   guaranteed Advances Act, 1909, for the purpose of con-
   structing or carrying on such works as are authorized by
   the said Act, he shall deposit a full description of the
   proposed works, together with such specifications and
   plans as he deems necessary, at the Te Teko Post-office,

   by advertisement in some newspaper circulating in the dis-
   trict that such description and other particulars are avail-
   able for inspection by all occupiers of land within the
   area subject to the said Act.

5. In the aforesaid advertisement the Minister shall call
   upon the occupiers to hold a public meeting at such time
   and place as he therein appoints, being not less than thirty

   forthwith notify the Minister of the name of the arbitrator
   elected at such meeting.

9. Should the arbitrator so elected refuse to act, or die,
   or resign his position at any time, or for any reason become

   arbitrator shall be elected in his place in the manner afore-
   said, save that the public meeting of occupiers at which
