and to which it is closed shall be stated.

7. All books and documents required by the Commissioner
   for the purpose of checking returns are to be placed at the
   disposal of the Commissioner or his officers at all reasonable
   times. Counterfoils from which tickets of admission are

   Commissioner is satisfied that there has been any failure
   on the part of the proprietor of the entertainment or any of
   his employees to observe all or any of the foregoing conditions,
   or any breach of the provisions of Part III of the Finance Act,
   1917, or the regulations thereunder.

LIVERPOOL, Governor-General.
ORDER IN COUNCIL.
At the Government House at Wellington, this thirtieth day
of April, 1918.
Present:
His Excellency THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL IN COUNCIL.
In pursuance and exercise of the powers conferred upon
him by the fourth section of the Discharged Soldiers
Settlement Amendment Act, 1917, His Excellency the
Governor-General of the Dominion of New Zealand, acting
by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council
of the said Dominion, doth hereby make the following regulations for the purpose of regulating the erection and disposal
of dwellings for discharged soldiers under the said section.
REGULATIONS.

1. In these regulations, unless inconsistent with the context,
   “Capital value” of a dwelling means the capital value
   fixed by the Minister, and shall cover the value of
   the land, the cost of its acquisition, the cost of survey,
   roading, subdivision, and other works and operations
   done on the land (including the value of the dwelling),
   the proper proportion of the value of so much of
   the land as is absorbed by roads or streets, and the
   estimated cost of administration :
   “Minister” means the Minister of Lands :
   “Commissioner” and “Land Board” mean the Commissioner of Crown Lands and the Land Board respectively for the land district within which the
   land is situated :
   “Dwelling” means any residence erected on land set apart for the purpose of soldiers’ dwellings pursuant to section 4 of the Discharged Soldiers Settlement Amendment Act, 1917, and includes the land on which the same is erected or which is held therewith,
   and also includes all outbuildings, and sanitary and drainage arrangements necessary for such residence :
   “Purchaser” includes any discharged soldier to whom land has been disposed of under these regulations,
   whether under agreement to purchase or under a provisional undertaking to purchase as hereinafter provided.
2. (1.) Land set apart for the purposes of section 4 of the Discharged Soldiers Settlement Amendment Act, 1917, shall be divided into such allotments as the Minister may direct ; and the Minister may cause to be erected thereon buildings suitable for soldiers’ residences, or may convert any buildings thereon into soldiers’ residences, and may from time to time alter, enlarge, repair, rebuild, and improve any such dwellings.
   (2.) The capital value of any dwelling disposed of under these regulations shall not exceed £1,000.
3. The Land Board, with the consent of the Minister, may dispose of any such allotment to a discharged soldier under agreement to purchase as hereinafter provided.
4. (1.) Applications for allotments shall be made to the Land Board in the form numbered 1 in the First Schedule
   hereto, and shall be accompanied by a deposit of 5 per centum of the capital value (in the case of an allotment on which a residence has been erected), or 5 per centum of the estimated prospective capital value (in the case of an allotment upon which a residence is to be erected by the Minister), or shall be accompanied by a deposit of such lesser sum as the Minister, in any special case, may determine.
   (2.) The amount of such deposit shall, if the application is approved by the Minister and the Land Board, be applied towards the cost of the dwelling, and shall, if the application is not so approved, be refunded to the applicant.
5. Every applicant for an allotment under these regulations shall be required to appear personally before the Land Board, or before such person or persons as the Land Board may appoint.
6. (1.) Allotments may be disposed of either before or after residences have been erected thereon by the Minister.
   (2.) In the case of an allotment disposed of upon which no residence has been erected, the Minister may erect thereon a residence with the necessary appurtenances in accordance with plans and specifications agreed upon between himself and the purchaser, provided that the capital value of the dwelling shall not exceed the maximum prescribed by these regulations.
7. Every agreement to purchase shall be in the form numbered 2 in the First Schedule hereto, and shall provide for the payment of the balance of the capital value (after deducting therefrom the amount deposited in accordance with clause 4 hereof), together with interest thereon at the rate of 5 per centum per annum, by monthly instalments payable on the first day of each and every month for a period of 25½ years, such instalments being calculated at the rate of 11s. 8d. per month for every £100 included in the balance of capital value.
8. (1.) The total period during which instalments shall be payable as provided in the last preceding clause shall be divided into periods of six months, the first of such periods commencing on the first day of the month next following the date of the execution of the agreement to purchase.
   (2.) The total amount of the monthly instalments for any such period of six months shall be deemed to be in part satisfaction of principal and interest for that period, in proportions calculated in accordance with the table in the Second Schedule hereto as for the appropriate period of six months : Provided that if in any case the full amount of such instalments has not been paid no allocation shall be made in respect of principal until the full amount of interest has been satisfied.
9. Every applicant to whom an allotment with a residence erected thereon has been disposed of shall execute an agreement to purchase in the form numbered 2 in the First Schedule hereto. The first instalment pursuant to such agreement shall become due on the first day of the month next following the date of the execution of such agreement.
10. (1.) The disposal of an allotment upon which no residence has been erected shall be conditional upon arrangements being completed between the Minister and the purchaser for the erection on the allotment of a residence with the necessary appurtenances at a cost within the limit of value provided in these regulations. In any such case a provisional undertaking to purchase, in the form numbered 3 in the First Schedule hereto, shall be entered into by the purchaser.
    (2.) Failing the completion of such arrangements the Board by direction of the Minister may cancel the provisional undertaking, and the applicant shall thereupon be entitled to a refund of his deposit.
11. All agreements or other instruments shall be executed on behalf of His Majesty the King by the Commissioner.
12. Payment of all moneys due in respect of any application or agreement to purchase shall be made to the Receiver of Land Revenue for the land district within which the land is situated.
13. Upon payment in full by the purchaser of the capital value, together with interest thereon in accordance with the agreement to purchase, the Land Board shall certify to the Minister that the purchaser is entitled to a certificate of title in respect of the land purchased, and a certificate of title shall accordingly in due course be issued to him.
14. (1.) No dwelling disposed of pursuant to these regulations shall, except with the consent of the Land Board and the approval of the Minister, be capable of being assigned or otherwise disposed of until the expiry of ten years after the date of the agreement to purchase ; and under no circumstances shall any dwelling while held under agreement to purchase be transferred, except pursuant to the will or on the death intestate of the purchaser, to any person who is not a discharged soldier.
    (2.) Upon approval of any transfer or other disposition the Commissioner shall record the same by endorsement upon the agreement to purchase.
