SECOND SCHEDULE.

CONDITIONS OF TENDER.

1. TENDERS must be written in the form provided for the purpose, and be forwarded in a sealed envelope, so as to be received at the Board’s Office, Wanganui, not later than 3 o’clock p.m. on Thursday, 2nd August, 1928.

2. Each lot must be tendered for separately, and each tender must be accompanied by a deposit equal to six months’ rent at the rate tendered.

3. Any tender not in conformity with these conditions is liable to rejection. The Board may, if it thinks fit, decline all tenders for any lot.

4. The successful tenderer will be entitled to possession on receipt of a notification of the acceptance of his tender. Lessee will be entitled to rebate of rental for period intervening between 1st July, 1928, and the date of acceptance of his tender.

5. Deposits with tenders which are not accepted will be returned to the respective tenderers. The Board reserves the right to accept or reject any tender.

6. If the rental tendered by two or more tenderers is equal, and is higher than that offered by any other tenderer, the Board shall decide in such manner as it thinks fit which tender (if any) shall be accepted.

7. If from any cause whatever the Board shall be unable to grant a lease of any lot tendered for, the successful tenderer shall be entitled to a refund of his deposit, but shall have no claim for damages, compensation, or interest on the deposit.

8. Each successful tenderer shall be required, within thirty days from the date on which the lease shall be tendered to him, to sign same in triplicate. In the event of his failure to do so, the Board may forfeit the rent paid by him, and again offer the land for lease, freed from any obligation to the defaulting tenderer.

9. Each successful tenderer on being advised that his tender is accepted must lodge a declaration to the effect that he is not prohibited under Part XII of the Native Land Act, 1909 (relating to limitation of area), from acquiring the area tendered for.

10. The leases will be issued subject to the provisions of the Native Land Acts and the regulations thereunder, and will contain, inter alia, the following provisions:—

(a) The term of the leases will be fourteen and one-half years from 1st July, 1928, at the rental tendered, with right of renewal for one further term of fourteen and one-half years at a rental assessed at 5 per cent. of the unimproved value of the land at the time of renewal, such valuation to be determined by arbitration, or in such other manner as may be mutually decided upon.

(b) Compensation for substantial improvements effected by the lessee will be allowed to him as provided in section 263 of the Native Land Act, 1909.

(c) Lessee will have no right to minerals without special license, but he may use on the land any minerals for any agricultural, pastoral, household, road-making, or building purposes.

(d) Rent shall be payable half-yearly in advance. Lessee shall not assign the lease without the Boards consent. Lessee shall cultivate in a husbandlike manner and keep land free from noxious weeds. Lessee shall keep 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 adjacent land; but the provision shall not deprive the lessee of any rights he may have against any subsequent occupier, other than the Board, on such adjacent land.

12. The leases will be prepared by the Board at the cost of the lessee. The cost is £3 3s., together with the cost of stamping and registering the same.

13. Forms of tender and declaration forms can be obtained at the Post-offices at Ohakune, Raetihi, Oreore, Karioi, Raurimu, Taumarunui, Taihape, and at the Native Department Offices, Wellington and Wanganui.

Instructions to Applicants.

The lands are described for the general information of intending selectors, who are recommended, nevertheless, to make a personal inspection, as the Board is not responsible for the absolute accuracy of any description. Some areas are liable to slight alterations.
