Conditions of Sale.

1. All instalments shall be secured by “on demand” promissory notes, made and endorsed to the satisfaction of
   the Commissioner of Crown Lands.
2. The attention of all tenderers is drawn to the fact that
   the local controlling body may require the successful tenderer
   to pay any claims or charges which may be made by that
   body for the maintenance of the road over which the timber
   may be transported, and before a sawmill license is issued a
   letter indicating that satisfactory arrangements have been
   made in this connection must be produced to the undersigned.
3. The quantities of the various timbers set forth in the
   above Schedule are approximate only, and are furnished for
   the information of intending purchasers, who are expected,
   previous to the sale, to make their own estimate of the
   quantity of timber. No contract for purchase shall be
   voidable, nor shall the licensee be entitled to any abatement
   in price, by reason of the said timber being of less quantity,
   quality, and kind than as stated herein; nor shall any extra
   sum be claimed by the Crown if for any reason the quantity
   of timber is found to be in excess of that stated herein.
4. The promissory notes will be presented at intervals as
   indicated in the terms of payment, but they may be presented
   for payment at earlier dates if more than a due proportion of
   the timber is found to be cut, or should any breach of the
   conditions occur, or if in the opinion of the Commissioner the
   interest of the Crown is jeopardized.
5. The purchaser of the timber shall have no right to the
   use of the land.
6. The licensee shall have the right to cut and remove only
   such timber as can be milled, and shall have no right to split
   posts, &c., and cut firewood.
7. The licensee shall have the right to construct and use
   such tramway or tramways as may be found necessary to the
   proper milling and removal of the timber.
8. The timber shall be cut in a face from such areas, and
   in such order as the Commissioner may arrange; and the
   Crown reserves the right of following up the mill-workings by
   felling and grassing such areas as from time to time will have
   been cleared of milling-timber, or of disposing of the land.
9. The licensee shall not put, throw, or place, or allow to be
   put, thrown, or placed, into any river, stream, or watercourse,
   or into any place where it may be washed into any river,
   stream, or watercourse, any sawdust or other sawmill refuse.
10. If at any time during the currency of this license the
    Field Inspector, or other person duly authorized by the
    Commissioner of Crown Lands, shall report, or it otherwise
    appears, that the timber on the said areas is being improperly
    cut, or that the interests of the Crown or settlers are prejudiced,
    or for any other reason, the Commissioner of Crown Lands
    may, by notice in writing to the licensee and his surety,
    suspend his license pending investigation; and the Commissioner may cancel such license if it is found that its conditions
    have been infringed, without prejudice to any proceeding for
    damage done, recovery of amounts due on royalty, or otherwise.
11. If the timber is unsold at auction, the right to cut it at
    the upset price will remain open for application until further
    notice.
12. No compensation will be given, not shall any be claimed,
    for any error, discrepancy, or misdescription whatever in
    respect of either lot or in these conditions.
13. All the timber, whether standing or felled or in logs,
    shall remain the property of the Crown until all due instalments are paid.
14. Should any dispute arise as to boundaries, the decision
    of the Commissioner of Crown Lands shall be final and conclusive.

Further particulars may be obtained on application to this
office.

W. D. ARMIT,
Commissioner of Crown Lands.
