May 18.] THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE. 1697
(b.) The lessee shall fence the whole of the land included in his lease with a good and substantial fence, sufficient in all respects to comply with the provisions of the Fencing Act, 1908, or any other law for the time being in force regulating the fencing of land. All fences shall be kept and maintained in good order and condition, and, at the expiration or sooner determination of the term, shall be so given up. All live fences or hedges shall be cut, dressed, and cleaned once in each year of the term: Provided that such portion of a reserve as the lessee shall actually use for grazing purposes only may be fenced or not, at his option, if the lessee is the owner or tenant for a term of at least three years, or pastoral tenant of the land immediately adjoining such portion.
(c.) The lessee shall not take more than two crops of grain in each of the first two periods of five years, and shall not at any time during his term take more than two crops of grain in immediate succession off any part of the land which he is permitted to cultivate.
(d.) Four-fifths of the land broken up or cultivated by the lessee during the term of the lease shall, not later than the spring of the eleventh year of the term, be sown and laid down by the lessee, at his own expense, with good white or red clover and rye-grass, cow-grass, or other grass approved by the lessor. The proportion of seed sown to the acre shall, in the case of clover, be not less than six pounds; and, in the case of rye-grass or other grass, not less than fifteen pounds. After the land is sown and laid down in grass as aforesaid, it shall be so kept and maintained and, at the expiration or other sooner determination of his term, shall be given up by the lessee well and sufficiently laid down in permanent artificial-grass pasture. During the remainder of the term of his lease after the eleventh year as aforesaid, the lessee may, if he thinks fit, annually cultivate the remaining fifth of the land so broken up or cultivated as aforesaid for the production of root-crops, but not otherwise.
(e.) The lessor shall be at liberty at any time during the term to resume possession of the whole or any part of the land which the lessee is permitted to use for grazing purposes only, as and when the lessor shall require so to do, for the purposes for which the whole land was originally reserved: Provided that the rent payable in respect of the land included in the lease shall be reduced proportionately for every acre or part of an acre possession of which is so resumed by the lessor.
(f.) The lessee shall not assign, sublet, or otherwise part with the possession of the land included in his lease, or any part thereof, without the consent in writing of the lessor first having been obtained.
- If any person whose tender for a lease has been accepted by the Board fails to execute his lease within twenty-one days from the date of the delivery to him or of the posting to his post-office address of a notice of acceptance of his tender, his deposit shall be absolutely forfeited to the Board, and his right to obtain a lease by virtue of such tender and acceptance shall absolutely cease and determine, and thereupon the lands specified in such tender may be offered again, or the Board may declare the next highest tenderer to be the successful tenderer.
DISPOSAL OF REVENUE.
-
Each member of the Board shall be entitled to be repaid out of the revenue of the Board any money expended by him in payment for coach, railway, steamboat, or other conveyance whilst on the Board’s business, and shall also be entitled to receive the sum of 10s. per day for every day during which he may be engaged upon the Board’s business.
-
The Board is empowered to pay such remuneration as it thinks fit to those persons who may act as secretary, auditor, inspector, or as officers of the Board in any other capacity.
-
The net revenue of the Board, after the expenses of administration and upkeep have been defrayed, shall be devoted solely towards the fencing, improvement, and (where necessary) the replanting of any part of the said reserves.
-
All such replanting shall be carried out under the direction of the Superintending Nurseryman and his staff, and the Superintending Nurseryman shall from time to time submit proposals for and estimates of expenditure in connection with future operations.
-
All such proposals and estimates shall be considered by the Board at its first meeting after the receipt thereof, and, if approved, the Superintending Nurseryman shall be forthwith notified by the Chairman to that effect, and shall thereupon carry out the proposed works as soon as he thinks fit.
-
If the Board does not approve of any of the proposed operations, the Chairman shall submit the proposals, together with the Board’s reasons for not approving the same, to the Minister of Lands, whose decision shall be final.
