Rules relative to occupation of land in the Pomona Indian Reserve. So long as sufficient land is available any person who is cultivating land in the vicinity and who wishes to occupy a plot of land in the Reserve may do so and may build his house thereon, by the written permission of the Commissioner of Lands and Surveys. The Commissioner of Lands and Surveys shall have power to refuse to permit any person to occupy a plot of land in the Reserve, and may, subject to the provisions of rule 10 of these Rules, withdraw any permission which may be given. If any person, after such refusal or withdrawal, persists in occupying a plot of land, he may be prosecuted for unlawful occupation in accordance with sections 31 of the National Lands Act: No person shall be allowed to occupy more than one plot of land and that only for the purpose of building a house and making a garden. 9. 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.
