Now, therefore, I, John Rushworth, Viscount Jellicoe, Governor-General of the Dominion of New Zealand, in exercise of the power and authority conferred upon me by section one hundred and thirty-three of the said Act, and of every other power and authority in anywise enabling me in this behalf, do hereby proclaim and declare that the sections of land described in the Schedule hereto shall be open on Tuesday, the twenty-eighth day of February, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-two, for disposal on renewable lease, as provided in section one hundred and thirty-five of the said Act; and I do also declare that, for the purposes of section one hundred and twenty-seven of the said Act, the sections of land described in the said Schedule hereto shall be deemed to be “heavy-bush land.”

And I do hereby provide that, 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.
