SCHEDULE.

TARANAKI LAND DISTRICT.

Sections 13, 18, and 19, Block XIII, Waitara Survey District.

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 estimate of the quantity of timber. 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 one-half of the amount bid, together with £1 1s. license fee, and shall also deposit a promissory note for the balance, payable on demand, and endorsed by two persons to be approved by the Commissioner; such promissory note shall bear interest at the rate of 5 per centum per annum as from date of sale in accordance with clause 86 of the regulations. The promissory note will be presented at an interval of six months from date of sale, but it may be presented for payment at an earlier date 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 all the timber thereon during a period of six months from the date of sale. The license shall only be 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 or of disposing of the land. Sufficient timber shall be left for fencing and general farming purposes.

6. The licensee shall not put, throw, or place, or allow to be put, thrown, or placed, into any river, stream, or watercourse, or into any place where it may be washed into any river, stream, or watercourse, any sawdust or other sawmill refuse.

7. In the event of the above not being disposed of, applications may be received and dealt with at any time within six months from the above date of sale (unless previously formally withdrawn), provided, however, that the amount offered is not less than the upset price stated herein.

8. No compensation will be given nor shall any be claimed for any error, discrepancy, or misdescription whatever in respect of the lot or in these conditions.

9. Any timber not specified milled for sale shall be purchased at a rate of 6d. per 100 sup. ft.

Full particulars may be ascertained and copies of the timber regulations obtained at this office.
