CONDITIONS OF SALE.

1. The right to cut and remove the timber will be sold generally in accordance with the provisions of the Land Act, 1908, the Timber Regulations made thereunder, and the following conditions, and may contain such additional conditions as the Commissioner in his discretion considers necessary in the interests of the Crown or of the public.

2. The quantities of the various timbers set forth in the above Schedule are approximate only, and are furnished for the information of intending purchasers, who are expected, previous to the sale, to make their own estimates of the quantities. No contract for purchase shall be voidable, nor shall the licensee be entitled to any abatement in price, by reason of the said timber being of less quantity, quality, and kind than as stated herein, nor shall any extra sum be claimed by the Crown if for any reason the quantity of timber is found to be in excess of that stated herein.

3. The successful bidder shall purchase the whole of the timber, and shall, on the fall of the hammer, pay in cash a deposit of 10 per centum of the amount bid, together with £1 1s. license fee, and shall also deposit eight promissory notes, each for one-eighth of the balance of purchase-money, each payable on demand, and endorsed by two persons to be approved by the Commissioner. These promissory notes will be presented, the first at an interval of nine months from the date of sale, and the others at subsequent intervals of six months, but they may be presented for payment at earlier dates if more than a due proportion of timber is found to be cut, or should any breach of the conditions occur, or if in the opinion of the Commissioner the interest of the Crown is jeopardized.

4. The purchaser shall have the right to cut and remove all timber on the lands comprised in the license during a period of five years from the date of sale, subject, however, to the condition that all the milling-timber on Section 33 is cut and removed within a period of two years from the date of sale, at the end of which period the Crown will resume full possession of Section 33, and the licensee’s right to mill thereon shall cease and be determined. The license shall be only for the cutting and removal of the timber, and shall give no right to the use of the land.

5. The timber shall be cut in a face, and the Crown reserves the right of following up the mill-workings by felling and grassing such areas as from time to time will have been cleared of milling-timber. Sufficient timber shall be left for fencing and general farming purposes.

6. The license shall be subject to any rights of tramway, or of water-races, &c, already granted or that may hereafter be granted over the lands comprised therein; and the Land Board may authorize the laying-down and working of tram-lines by other persons than the licensee.

7. The licensee shall not put, throw, or place, or allow to be put, thrown, or placed, into any river, stream, water-course, or into any place where it may be washed into any river, stream, or watercourse, any sawdust or other saw-mill refuse.

8. If the timber is unsold at auction the right to cut it at the upset price will remain open for application until further notice.

9. The lot will be sold generally in accordance with the area and boundaries as shown on the sale map at the District Lands and Survey Office, Wellington.
