to the ownership or possession of anything so left shall enure
to the permit-holder against the Crown or against any person
being at any time in lawful occupation of the said site.

liability he may have incurred for a breach of these regu-
lations, be liable for any damage suffered by any person

implied herein by this regulation, the land described in such
license.
(10) The holder of a permanent-camp license shall be entitled
to erect, maintain, and occupy on the land described therein
such buildings as he may require, and as are authorized under
clause (12) hereof, and remove the same at any time prior to

any damage to the ground done thereby.
(11) The holder of a permanent-camp license who, after the
expiration of the term therein stated, leaves any building on
the land described therein, shall pay a fee, computed from

week during the open season, and 2s. 6d. for every week or
part of a week during the close season until-

by any permit officer, and shall be recoverable as a debt due
to the Crown.

authorize the erection, maintenance, or occupation of any
building or other erection, or the doing of any other act
that may reasonably be necessary or proper for the better
use and enjoyment of land for the purposes of a camping-site;
Provided that no person shall erect on any camp-site any
building other than a canvas tent except with the previous
consent in writing of a permit-officer and in accordance with
a written description of the proposed building, which shall be
furnished to a permit-officer in such detail as he may require,
and which shall be approved by him in writing.
(13) The granting of a permanent-camp license to any
person for any land shall not confer on such person the right
to obtain a license for the same land or any other land after
the expiration of such license or for the next ensuing open
season or at any future time or for any future period.
(14) If any dispute arises between the holder of a permanent-
camp license and any other holder or any other person touching
the boundaries of the land comprised in any license, such
dispute shall be referred to and shall forthwith be decided by
the Conservator of Fish and Game at Rotorua, and his de-
cision shall be final, and he may, to give effect thereto,
require any license to be produced to him and make any
modification he thinks proper in the description of land con-
tained therein.

lation 14 hereof shall not apply to permanent-camp licenses
the holders thereof.
