Terms of Payment.

A marked cheque for one-sixth of the amount tendered,
together with £1 ls. license fee, must accompany the tender,
and the balance be paid in twelve equal instalments, the first
of which shall be paid three months after the date of sale,
and the others at monthly intervals thereafter.

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 giving the number of logs cut of each species
   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 must also be made on
   the same dates showing the output of sawn timber of each
   species. 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 buyers 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
   prepared to pay for the timber. The highest or any tender
   will not necessarily be accepted, and the timber described is
   submitted 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 for three months from the
   date tenders close.

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, Palmerston
    North," 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
obtained on application to the undersigned or to the Director
of Forestry, Wellington.
