Be it therefore enacted by the General Assembly of New Zealand in Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:—

The Short Title of this Act is “The Wanganui Harbour Board Endowment Sale Act, 1892.”

2 Board may dispose of balance of endowment land on deferred payment by private contract.

Notwithstanding anything contained in “The Harbours Act, 1878,” or “The Land Act, 1885,” the Wanganui Harbour Board may sell or dispose of, under the deferred-payment system contained in “The Land Act, 1885,” to the aforesaid Pohangina Small-farm Association (No. 2) all the rural land mentioned in the recitals to this Act, comprising six thousand nine hundred and forty-three acres, more or less, at such price, not less than thirty shillings per acre, to be paid in instalments extending over not more than ten years, and may be agreed upon between the Board and the said association; and for this purpose the said Harbour Board shall, in respect of the said lands and the disposal thereof, have all the powers and functions given respectively to a Land Board or Commissioner of Crown Lands under “The Land Act, 1885:”

Provided that the proceeds to arise from the sale of the land sold under the provisions of this Act shall be received and applied in the manner directed by “The Wanganui Harbour Endowment and Borrowing Act, 1877.”

3 Provision for roads in such land.

The provisions of “The Land Act, 1885,” as to the payment of the third parts of the price of land shall not apply in respect of the aforesaid lands, provided that the Pohangina Small-farm Association shall at their own cost, when required thereto by the Commissioner of Crown Lands, make and complete, to the satisfaction of the Surveyor-General, all roads in or over the said lands which the said Commissioner shall think necessary.
