SECOND SCHEDULE.

CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH LOT 1 IS OFFERED FOR SELECTION.

1. THE land is offered at the upset rental stated.

4. The lease will be prepared by the Board.

5. The successful tenderer will be required, within thirty days from the date on which the lease shall be tendered to him by the Board for execution, to sign the same in triplicate. In the event of his failure to do so, the Board may forfeit the deposit paid by him, and again offer the land at the upset price freed from any obligations to the defaulting lessee.

6. The Board reserves the right to withdraw from lease the lot at any time prior to the time for receiving the tenders.

7. The lessee shall be required, before obtaining his lease, to make a declaration as required by Part XII of the Native Land Act, 1909, that he is not the owner or occupier of 5,000 acres of third-class land, or its equivalent in other classes of land.

8. The land is offered under the Native Land Act, 1909, and its amendments, and the regulations made thereunder. The lessee shall be deemed to be acquainted with the provisions thereof, and be bound thereby as effectively as if such provisions were embodied herein.

9. The term of the lease shall be twenty-one years from the 1st day of July, 1915, at the rental tendered.

11. (a.) Rent shall be paid half-yearly in advance.

(b.) Lessee will not assign the lease without the consent of the Board.

(c.) Lessee will cultivate the land in a husbandlike manner, and keep it free from noxious weeds.

(d.) Lessee will keep the fences and buildings in repair.

(e.) Lessee will fence without any right of resort to the Board for contribution on account of the Board owning or occupying adjacent land; but this provision shall not deprive the lessee of any rights he may have against any subsequent occupier, other than the Board, of such adjacent land.

(f.) A copy of the form of lease can be inspected at the office of the Under-Secretary for Native Affairs, Wellington, or at the office of the Board.

12. In the event of the present occupier not obtaining a lease of this section, such occupier is to have the right, should he desire so to do, to remove from the land, within one month from the date of the acceptance of any tender for the lease of the land, a dwellinghouse now standing thereon.

INSTRUCTIONS TO APPLICANTS.
