Opportunity is also afforded for the occupation of Crown lands for pastoral purposes from year to year under an occupation license, or for a fixed term not exceeding forty-two years under pastoral lease. There is no limitation to the area which may be held by one person under either of these tenures. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SELECTION ON REPURCHASED ESTATES. "THE CLOSER SETTLEMENT ACT OF 1906." AGRICULTURAL FARMS. 1. An application to select must be made in the prescribed form, in triplicate, and be lodged with the Land Agent for the district in which the land is situated. It must be signed by the applicant, but may be lodged in the District Land Office by his duly constituted attorney, and must be accompanied by a deposit of one-tenth of the purchasing price of the land and one-fifth of the prescribed survey fee. 2. In the case of simultaneous applications for the same land, priority is secured by an applicant, other than a married woman or a single girl under twenty-one years of age, who, when making application, undertakes to reside personally on the land during the first five years of the term of lease. In other cases of simultaneous applications for the same land priority is determined by lot. 3. Land cannot be acquired in the interest of another person, and an applicant is required to declare that he requires the land for his own exclusive benefit, and not as the agent, servant, or trustee of any other person. An alien may, on passing a reading and writing test, acquire a selection; but unless he becomes a naturalised subject of the King within three years thereafter, all his right, title, and interest in the land will become forfeited. 4. The term of the lease of a selection is twenty-five years, dating from the 1st January or 1st July nearest to the date of the Commissioner's license to occupy the land. 5. No rent will be payable during the second, third, or fourth years of the term. The rent payable during the remainder of the term will be at the rate of L8 2s. 7d. for every L100 of the purchasing price of the land, and will be allocated to principal and interest according to the table appended hereto. 6. Within two years of the issue of a license to occupy, the selector must enclose the land with a good and substantial fence, or make substantial and permanent improvements on it of a value equal to the cost of such a fence, and must within such period make application to the Commissioner for a certificate that he has performed this condition.
