Public Act		1910 No 35
Date of assent		21 November 1910

An Act to amend the Kauri-gum Industry Act, 1908.

BE IT ENACTED by the General Assembly of New Zealand in Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:—

1 Short Title.

(1.)

This Act may be cited as the Kauri-gum Industry Amendment Act, 1910, and it shall form part of and be read together with the Kauri-gum Industry Act, 1908 (hereinafter referred to as the principal Act).

Commencement.

(2.)

This Act shall commence on the first day of January, nineteen hundred and eleven.

2 Interpretation.

In the principal Act and this Act “Minister” means the Minister of Lands.

3 Commissioner of Crown Lands to issue licenses.

On and after the commencement of this Act every license which may be issued or renewed under the principal Act shall be issued or renewed by the Commissioner of Crown Lands for the land district within which the license is to apply (hereinafter referred to as the Commissioner), and not by any local authority.

4 Application of license fees.

All license fees received under the principal Act shall (after deducting such proportion of the cost of administering that Act as may be prescribed by the Governor in Council, or, in the absence of such prescription, as may be fixed in each case by the Commissioner) be paid to the local authority of the district in which the holder of the license resides.

5 Provisions as to special licenses.

(1.)

No person shall be entitled to receive or hold a special license unless he satisfies the Commissioner that he is a British subject by birth or by naturalization in New Zealand.

(2.)

A special license may, if the Commissioner thinks fit, be limited in its operation to any one or more kauri-gum reserves specified in the license, preference being given in every case to persons residing in the county in which the reserves are situated.

Repeal.

(3.)

This section is in substitution for section six of the principal Act, and that section and also section eight of the same Act are hereby repealed.

6 Residence-site may be extended and leased.

Where any licensee has taken up land under the authority of section ten of the principal Act, and has resided thereon for not less than one year, and has otherwise fulfilled the conditions prescribed by regulations with respect thereto, he may apply to the Commissioner to extend the area that he may occupy to not exceeding ten acres, and to grant him a lease of such extended area; and the Commissioner may grant such lease for such term, at such rent, and on such conditions as to the effecting of improvements and otherwise as are prescribed by regulations.

7 Additional right of holder of special license.

In addition to the rights conferred by section ten of the principal Act on holders of licenses, the holder of a special license shall, while it continues in force (but no longer), be entitled to employ his wife, or any member of his family whose age does not exceed sixteen years, to dig gum for him without taking out a license for that member.

8 Rangers.

The Minister administering this Act may from time to time appoint such Rangers for the purposes of this Act as he thinks fit.

9 Section 33 of principal Act amended.

Section thirty-three of the principal Act is hereby amended by adding thereto the following subsection:—

“(2.)

On receipt of any such resolution the Governor in Council shall cause notice of the same to be gazetted, and to be twice publicly notified in some newspaper circulating in the district to which it relates, and such notice shall state that any objection to the proposal must be sent to the Governor within two months after the date of such notice. Any objection sent to the Governor within the time so limited shall be considered before an Order is made under the last preceding subsection.”

10 Consequential amendments of principal Act.

The principal Act is hereby further amended to the extent mentioned in the Schedule hereto.

11 Saving of existing licenses.

Nothing in this Act shall affect any license in force on the commencement of this Act until the expiration of such license.
