15.—Applicants for lands in unproclaimed districts to make their own surveys if a Government Surveyor cannot be sent.

Any person desirous of purchasing Crown Lands in districts not proclaimed or notified as about to be surveyed for sale, must, after selecting the locality and determing the number of acres he desires to purchase, give notice thereof to the Commissioner of Crown Lands; when he will be required, if the Government has no surveyor available for that purpose, to have such lauds surveyed at his own expense by a surveyor authorised by Government in that behalf, whose survey must be duly approved before the applicant is allowed to complete the purchase.
