4. The promissory notes will be presented at intervals as indicated in the terms of payment, but they may be presented for payment at an earlier date if it is found that more than a due proportion of the timber has been cut, or should any breach of the conditions occur, or if in the opinion of the Conservator the interests of the Crown are being jeopardized.
