Opening National Endowment Lands in Nelson Land District for Selection.

LIVERPOOL, Governor.

IN pursuance and exercise of the powers and authorities conferred upon me by the Land Act, 1908, I, Arthur William de Brito Savile, Earl of Liverpool, the Governor of the Dominion of New Zealand, do hereby declare and provide as follows, that is to say:—
The national endowment rural lands enumerated in the Schedule hereto are hereby set apart for selection on renewable lease on Tuesday, the eleventh day of January, one thousand nine hundred and sixteen, at the respective rentals specified in the said Schedule, and shall be deemed to be “heavy-bush land.”
After the first half-year’s rent has been paid by the selector the further instalments of rent payable by him for a period of four years shall not be demanded; provided that if at any time during the first five years of his occupancy the selector disposes of his interest in the land the rent so conceded shall be paid by him in full, and thereupon the Land Board may remit such instalments of rent payable by the incoming tenant, not exceeding in the aggregate the amount of rent previously conceded to the selector, as the Board thinks fit.

• Section 37 is weighted with £10, Section 41 with £5, and Section 42 with £5, for cost of drain.
  Aria is about twenty-four miles from Te Kuiti by a formed dray-road. It is in the centre of a prosperous dairying and grazing district. The sections comprise level to undulating land, a large proportion being ploughable, and the smaller sections are almost all good building-sites. A few of the sections are low-lying. The larger sections have mostly good building-sites, a few of the lower-lying ones being suitable for stock or cropping paddocks. The land is in fern, manuka, and rough grass, with some raupo swamp.

As witness the hand of His Excellency the Governor, this sixteenth day of November, one thousand nine hundred and fifteen.
