Relative to Town and Suburban Allotments in Western Australia
GENERAL CONDITIONS
1. Persons receiving Land or building Lots within the Settlement, are not at liberty to transfer the same to any other individual, until, by the fulfilment of the conditions on which such allotments were made, a full title shall have been acquired thereto; but a Grantee or his Assignees will at all times possess the right of selling or transferring his right of property in a lot, such transference being duly registered.
2. All Grants or Town Lots which shall be vacated by persons quiting the colony, will be resumed by Government.
3. Applications for town allotments will be received at the Surveyor General's Office, in a certain prescribed form, on any day except Sunday, between the hours of 10 and 3. or on Saturday's between the hours of 1O and 1.—when applicants will be permitted to inspect the ground plans of the towns, and will be furnished with every requisite information relative to lots open for selection. The civil Commissioners and Residents are also in possession of Plans and Registers of the allotments in their respective towns, and will furnish applicants with the form in which, they are to be applied for. Persons desirous to occupy more than one lot in any town, must state the grounds on which they rest their application.
4. The occupation by any person of a building allotment, or of any part of a town-site will not be considered authorised unless duly approved in writing by the Lieutenant Governor, or by His Honor through the Surveyor General.
5. All town lots thrown open for selection must be built upon in such time and according to such conditions as the Surveyor General may point out; and they will be liable for their portion of the expense which Government may incur in making or repairing the roads or lines of communication within the Town, and for the corner stakes which may be placed in the ground to mark their boundaries.
6. Allotments which it may be considered necessary to grant on particular conditions only, will be called "Special Lots," and be subject to such Regulations as may be conveyed to the grantee, in his license of occupation.
7. When the improvements prescribed in the license of occupation shall be effected on any Town or Suburban Allotment, the occupant will be entitled to obtain a regular Deed of Conveyance of the Allotment, to be held afterwards on the same terms as other lands in the Colony ;—subject also to such of the conditions in existence at the time of being permitted to occupy, as are in their nature incapable of completion at the date of the deed of grant.
8. Persons are not to cut timber, nor take stone, loam, clay or other materials from the site of any Town, except from their own Allotments;—nor be considered as having a right to any other land than the portion assigned to them.—Particular places will be set apart from time to time, whenever practicable, for the supply of building materials.
