   with which the section is loaded for improvements (if
   any). NOTE.—Stamp duty will be 5s. if rent under £50

4. If any person desires to tender for more than one

   Act, within thirty days, to the effect that he is not the
   owner or occupier of 3,000 acres of third-class land, or its
   equivalent in other classes of land.
7. The lands are offered under the Native Land Act,
   1909, and the regulations made thereunder, and purchasers
   and lessees shall be deemed to be acquainted with the
   provisions thereof, and be bound thereby as effectively as
   if such provisions were embodied herein.

Wharepuhunga Sections.—It shall be a condition of the
lease that the lessee shall not assign the fishing rights over
the land leased; but all such rights shall be reserved and
shall remain vested in the Board, and the Board shall
have the right at any time, and from time to time, to
dispose of such rights in such manner and upon such con-
ditions as it thinks fit, and without any compensation to
the lessee.

The lands are described for the general information of
intending selectors, who are recommended, nevertheless, to
make a personal inspection, as the Board is not responsible
for the absolute accuracy of any description.

Tenders must be sent to the office of the Waikato-
Maniapoto District Maori Land Board, Auckland, and
must be made on the proper forms, to be obtained at the
office of the Board and at the post-offices in the locality of
the land to be offered.

Full particulars may be obtained at the office of the
Under-Secretary for Native Affairs, Wellington, or at the
office of the Board.
