Terms and Conditions of Lease.

1. The respective lots shall be offered by public auction on the 3rd day of September, 1912.

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 January, 1913, 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 July, 1913, and thenceforth the rent shall be paid half-yearly in advance.

5. As soon as may be after the highest bidder is ascertained a lease will be prepared. Such lease shall be for the term of twenty-one years commencing from the 1st January, 1913, and the lessee shall execute the same in triplicate whenever requested to do so.

6. The lease will provide for renewal 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 assented to in writing by the outgoing lessee or person interested.

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 provided for leases under the said Act, with such modifications as the circumstances may require.

10. The Board reserves the right to withdraw any lot or lots at any time prior to the auction.

Maps and full particulars may be obtained on application to the undersigned.
