Regulations.

1. The land planted must be securely fenced.

5. As soon as the land is fenced, and the trees planted, a report must be sent to the Secretary for Lands, who will cause inspection of the same to be made; from the date of which, if duly certified, the five years will be calculated.
6. The fulfilment of the conditions above prescribed shall be ascertained, and shall be certified in the form annexed by an officer appointed by the Superintendent. Upon the receipt of such certificate, the Superintendent may either issue his own certificate to the Waste Lands Board, or he may, if he thinks fit, cause further enquiry to be made into the facts of the case.

Form of Certificate.

I, A. B., do hereby certify, after personal inspection of plantations made by C. D., that acres of land have been planted by him, in accordance with the statements contained in the application of , 187_, that the conditions imposed under the Regulations issued under the "Otago Waste Lands Act 1872" have been faithfully complied with, and that he is entitled under the provisions of the said Act, to receive a Crown Grant.
