Terms and Conditions of Lease.

1. The respective lots shall be offered by public auction
   on the 19th April, 1911.

2. The bidder of the highest rent shall be declared to be
   the lessee, and if any dispute arises as to the last or highest
   bid at any auction for any lot, the lot in dispute shall be put
   up again at the last preceding bid.

3. The highest bidder for any lot shall, upon the fall of
   the hammer, pay to the auctioneer the first half-year's rent
   in advance by way of deposit, which shall represent the half-
   year's rent as from the 1st July, 1911, and shall also deposit
   the sum of £1 for the lease fee.

4. The second half-year's rent shall become payable on the
   1st January, 1912, and thenceforth the rent shall be paid
   half-yearly in advance.

5. As soon as may be after the highest bidder is ascer-
   tained, a lease will be prepared. Such lease shall be for the
   term of twenty-one years, commencing from the 1st July,
   1911, and the lessee shall execute the same in triplicate at
   the office of the Board whenever requested to do so.

6. The lease will provide for renewals from time to time
   for successive periods not exceeding in each case twenty-one
   years, at rentals to be fixed by valuation or by arbitration;
   and it will also provide for payment by the incoming tenant
   for improvements made by the outgoing tenant, the value
   of such improvements to be ascertained by arbitration.

7. In cases where any of the allotments are subject to the
   payment of the value of the improvements by the provisions
   of an expiring lease or otherwise, such value shall be paid
   at the same time and in the same manner as the deposit
   heretofore mentioned, unless some other arrangement is as-
   sented to in writing by the outgoing lessee or person inter-
   ested.

8. Should the highest bidder neglect or fail to comply with
   any of the conditions, his deposit-money and lease fee shall
   thereupon be forfeited to the Board, who shall be at full
   liberty either to enforce the letting or to relet the premises
   at such time and place and in such manner as it thinks fit,
   but in no case shall the lessee be relieved from his liability.

9. Every lease shall be in the form set out in the regulations
   issued under the Native and Maori Land Laws Amendment
   Act, 1902, as appearing in the New Zealand Gazette No. 15,
   of the 26th February, 1903, with such modifications as the
