surrendered, when required by the Land Officer. (c). A new lease, for a term of 75 years, commencing from the 26th December, 1919, to be issued for a lot com- -bining the existing lots (R.B.Lote 90 and 105) and
the area edged red. The usual fes of 830 to be paid
for such new lease.
(d). Premium at the rate of 12 cents per square foot to
be paid into the Treasury, on demand, for the excess
in area of the new lot over that of the existing lots.
(e). Crom rent at the rate of 8250 per acre per annumm
for the entire area of the new lot to be paid half-
-yearly into the Tressury, on demand. The Crown rent

on
