Abstract

Rules relative to occupation of land in the Ramonal-Zapote Reserve. So long as sufficient land is available, any person who wishes to occupy not more than twenty acres of land in the Ramonal-Zapote Reserve, for the purpose of growing annual crops, may do so and may build a house thereon, subject to the conditions specified in the Schedule hereto. The conditions of occupation vary according to the cultivation or use of land, e.g. sugar-cane, pasturage, permanent crops other than sugar-cane. Lands cultivated with permanent crops other than sugar-cane at the coming into operation of these Regulations may be purchased (not exceeding twenty acres) under the existing rules governing location ticket tenure. The Commissioner of Lands and Surveys shall have power to refuse to permit any person to occupy land in the Reserve, and may, subject to the provisions of paragraph 14 of this Schedule, withdraw any permission which may be given. The Government reserves the right to sell, lease, grant licences over, or in any other way deal with any national land within the Reserve which is not occupied at the time when such right is exercised. No compensation shall be payable to any person in respect of the exercise of this right.
