(g) The lessee shall not assign, sublet, or otherwise part
with the possession of the land included in his lease,
or any part thereof, without the consent in writing
of the lessor first having been obtained.

30. In addition to the covenants and conditions referred
    to in the two last preceding regulations it shall be lawful for
    the Board to embody in any lease a special covenant that the
    Board shall pay to the lessee compensation for any fences
    erected by the lessee with the consent of the Board, such
    compensation to be ascertained by valuation or in such
    other manner as the Board may decide.

31. In the event of any lessee of the Board being unable
    at any time by reason of any natural disaster or other suffi-
    cient cause to pay the rent due under his lease the Board,
    on being satisfied that it would be reasonable or equitable
    to afford relief, may remit the rent payable in respect of any
    period or periods not exceeding three years in the aggregate
    or may postpone until such date or dates as the Board may
    determine the payment of rent in respect of any period or
    periods not exceeding three years in the aggregate. Interest
    at such rate, not less than 4 per cent, as the Board may de-
    termine, shall be payable half-yearly on the amount or amounts
    of rent so postponed, and such interest shall be added to the
    rent and shall be recoverable in like manner as the rent in
    arrear.

32. If any person whose tender for a lease has been accepted
    by the Board fails to execute his lease within twenty-one
    days from the date of the delivery to him or of the posting
    to his post-office address of a notice of acceptance of his
    tender his deposit shall be absolutely forfeited to the Board,
    and his right to obtain a lease by virtue of such tender and
    acceptance shall absolutely cease and determine, and there-
    upon the lands specified in such tender may be offered again,
    or the Board may declare the next highest tenderer to be
    the successful tenderer.

DISPOSAL OF REVENUE.

33. Each member of the Board shall be entitled to be
    repaid out of the revenue of the Board any money expended
    by him in payment for omnibus, motor, railway, steamboat,
    or other conveyance whilst on the Board's business, and shall
    also be entitled to receive the sum of ten shillings (10s.) per
    day for every day during which he may be engaged upon
    the Board's business.

34. The Board is empowered to pay such remuneration as
    it thinks fit to those persons who may act as Secretary,
    Auditor, Superintendent, or as officers of the Board in any
    other capacity.

35. The Board may in any financial year out of the revenue
    of the Board expend for purposes not authorized by these
    regulations or by any Act or law for the time being in force
    any sum or sums of money not amounting in the whole to
    more than fifty pounds (£50).

36. The Board may from time to time make grants of money
    towards research or investigation of any matters relating to
    forestry and planting: Provided that the moneys so granted
    shall not in any financial year exceed the sum of twenty-five
    pounds (£25).

37. The net revenue of the Board after the expenses of
    administration and upkeep and other payments authorized
    by these regulations have been defrayed shall be directed
    towards planting, fencing, cutting and milling of timber,
    purchase of implements and plant, and general maintenance
    and improvement of the property of the Board.
