The Lease will not give power to the Lessee to prevent ingress, egress, and regress to and from the land by all persons pursuing their lawful occupations.

Upon the completion of survey, the balance of the fee shall be paid, and the Lessee must also at once cut a line round his boundaries, marking the back corners by stakes driven into the ground, and not less than 2 feet high out of the ground; what remains unmarked he has no claim to. Any timber not removed before the expiration of the lease shall belong to the Crown, and may not be removed without due authority.

The Board reserves the right to fix the maximum price at which timber may be sold to the public.

Any breach or non-fulfilment of any of these Regulations shall render the License or Lease liable to forfeiture, without the right to compensation on any account whatever.
