MAY 22.] THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE. 1709

Terms of Payment.

A marked cheque for one-eighth of the price tendered,
together with half-year's ground rent and £1 1s. (license fee),
must accompany the tender, and the balance of the purchase-
money be paid by seven equal quarterly instalments, the
first of which shall be paid six months after the date of sale.
In addition, the successful tenderer shall continue to pay
such ground rent half-yearly in advance during the currency
of the license.

Terms and Conditions.

1. All instalment-payments shall be secured by "on
   demand" promissory notes made and endorsed to the satis-
   faction of the Commissioner of State Forests, and interest
   at the rate of 1 per cent. per annum in excess of current
   bank overdraft rates will be charged on all notes overdue
   from the date of maturity to the date of payment.
2. The right to cut and remove the timber will be sold in
   accordance with the provisions of the Forests Act, 1921–22,
   the regulations in force thereunder, and these conditions.
3. The aforementioned qualities, quantities, and kinds as to
   the said timber shall be taken as sufficiently accurate for
   the purposes of this sale, and no contract for the purchase
   shall be voidable, nor shall the successful purchaser be en-
   titled to any abatement in price, by reason of the said timber
   being of less quantity, quality, or kind as stated herein or in
   any advertisement having reference to the said timber.
4. A return, verified by affidavit, giving the number of logs
   cut and their contents, must be made quarterly by the licensee
   on the last days of March, June, September, and December,
   respectively, in each year. A return, similarly verified, must
   be made on the same dates showing the output of sawn
   timber. These returns may be ascertained and verified by
   inspection of the books of the mill, or by such other means
   as the Conservator may require, and for this purpose the
   accounts and books shall be open to the inspection of the
   Conservator, a Forest Ranger, or other duly authorized
   officer.
5. 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.
6. Intending tenderers are expected to visit the locality
   and to satisfy themselves in every particular on all matters
   relative to the sale.
7. Each tenderer must state the total price that he is pre-
   pared to pay for each species. The highest or any tender will
   not necessarily be accepted, and the timber described is sub-
   mitted for sale subject to the final acceptance of the tender
   by the Commissioner of State Forests.
8. The right is reserved to the Commissioner of State
   Forests to withdraw from sale any or all of the said timber
   either before or after the closing date for receipt of tenders.
9. If no tender is accepted for the timber herein mentioned
   it will remain open for application at the upset price until
   further notice.
10. Tenders should be on the special form obtainable from
    any office of the State Forest Service, and should be enclosed
    in envelopes addressed "Conservator of Forests, Nelson,"
    and endorsed "Tender for Timber."
    The conditions which will be inserted in the license to be
    issued to the purchaser and further particulars may be ob-
    tained on application to the undersigned or to the Director
    of Forestry, Wellington.
    F. W. FOSTER, Conservator of Forests.
