Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL IN COUNCIL.

IN pursuance and exercise of the powers and authorities conferred upon him by the Discharged Soldiers Settlement Act, 1915 (hereinafter referred to as “the said Act”), 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 amend, in the manner set forth in the Schedule hereto, the regulations under the said Act made on the twentieth day of August, one thousand nine hundred and eighteen, and published in the New Zealand Gazette of the twenty-second day of August, one thousand nine hundred and eighteen.

SCHEDULE.

1. THE said regulations are hereby amended by inserting after clause 20 thereof the following new clause:—
   20A. (1.) Where the Minister is of opinion that, owing to the special circumstances arising from the general financial stringency, the maximum amount of £750 or of £1,250, as the case may be, that may be advanced to one person under clause 20 (a) hereof is inadequate for the profitable working or the further development of land held by such person, or for the discharge of his financial obligations, he may authorize such additional advance as he may deem adequate:
   Provided that before such additional advance is made, an amount not exceeding 75 per cent. of the value of the permanent improvements effected by the mortgagor on such land, or not exceeding £250 (whichever is the less), shall be discharged from the current account mortgage, and a mortgage under clause 22 (e.f.) of these regulations shall be executed for the amount so discharged.
   (2.) Against the credit that may be so established in the current account under the preceding paragraph the Minister may authorize readvances for all or any of the following purposes:—
   (a.) The clearing, fencing, draining, and general improvement of the land.
   (b.) The purchase of implements, stock, seeds, plants, trees, and such other things as may be deemed necessary for the successful occupation of the land.
   (3.) Readvances may also be authorized hereunder up to an amount equal to 75 per cent. of the value of equity deemed to be established by a discharged soldier in land owned or leased by him in excess of his liabilities with respect to such land.
   (4.) Additional advances may be authorized to a mortgagor on the security of the estimated natural increase of any stock, sheep, or cattle owned by him up to such amount not exceeding £250 as the Minister may see fit to prescribe from time to time.
2. Clause 22 of the said regulations is hereby amended by adding to paragraph (d) thereof the following proviso:—
   Provided that in any case where advances are authorized under the provisions of clause 20A hereof the maximum advance here prescribed in the case of rural land may be increased by the amount of such advances, but in no case shall the total amount advanced to one person hereunder exceed £2,750.
3. Clause 27 of the said regulations is hereby amended by omitting therefrom the words “jointly to the aggregate amount that they would have been entitled to obtain individually,” and substituting the words “only to the aggregate amount that one of them would have been entitled to obtain individually.”
4. The said regulations are hereby amended by the insertion of the following two new clauses after clause 27:—
   27A. In any case where advances have been made to two or more persons holding land as tenants in common, and the interest or interests of one or more of such persons in such land have been transferred or allotted to the other or others remaining in possession of such land, the Board, with the approval of the Minister, may apportion the liability of the outgoing partner or partners under any mortgage or bill of sale given as security to the Crown, and may transfer such liability to such other or others as may remain in possession of such land, notwithstanding that the aggregate amount then advanced to the person or persons remaining in possession may be in excess of the maximum amount that may be advanced to such person or persons under any other part of these regulations.
   27B. In any case where, by reason of dissolution of partnership or other cause, land held by two or more persons as tenants in common is subdivided, and each subdivision of such land is transferred or allotted to any person or persons and held under a separate title, the Board, with the approval of the Minister, may, provided that the scheme of subdivision is to its satisfaction, apportion the aggregate liability of such original tenants in common under any mortgage or bill of sale given as security to the Crown amongst the owners or lessees of such subdivisions in such manner as may seem to it equitable, notwithstanding that the amount thus apportioned to the owner or lessee of one subdivision may be in excess of the maximum amount that such owner or lessee is entitled to obtain under any other part of these regulations.
