8 or 16 years, and that the averag^e value of the farm for the 

 whole term is 10^. per acre ; the scale of rents in this case would 

 run thus : —

Thus, should the tenant quit at the end of the first terms of his 

 lease, he will only have paid the lowest rents during the period of 

 making his major outlay. 



In illustration of the second point — compensation for durable 

 improvements — I subjoin a copy of a Memorandum which I have 

 found highly satisfactory to the tenants on the property of which 

 I have the care as resident agent. 



Memorandum. 



In order to encourage the tenant to cultivate the form in the liigliest possible 

 manner, the said hereby engages on behalf ot" hiniself and his 



representatives, owners of the farm let to the said , on condition of 



the foregoing covenants having been fulfilled and kept by the said , 



his executors or administrators, that when the said , his executors or 



administrators, shall quit the said farm, either at the expiration of the lease 

 for years, under which he holds it, or at the expiration of 



j'ears, as by the said lease provided, and not otherwise, the said o? 



the incoming tenant will allow to the said or his executors, adminis- 



trators, or assigns, for such improvements made on the said fann, subsequent 

 to the date of this memorandum, and within the stated period lieforc quitting, 

 as are contained in the following list, and are marked and enumerated with 

 the figures ; that is to say, so much of the amount of such expense as 



shall be in the given proper tiun, in each case, to such a number of years as 

 the said , his executors, administrators, and assigns, shall fall sliort in 



the occupancy of the said farm, after incurring such expense : iT being 



EXPRESSLY STIPULATED THAT THE TENANT IS TO GIVE AN ACCOUNT EACH 



TEAR of such outlay as he proposes to make iu durable improvements, in 

 order to obtain the owner's sanction in writing to the proposed expense, such 



SANCTION BEING NECESSARY IN ORDER TO CLAIM OR BE ENTITLED TO ANY 



ALLOWANCE froui him ; and sliall also render an account of such disburse- 

 ments within each year, — such account to be examined and signed by the 

 landlord, or his accredited agent, and to serve as a voucher for the sums so 

 to be recovered by the said tenant ; and that non-payment of rent (if the 

 same shall have been demanded, and afterwards remain unpaid for the space 

 of six months) or non-fulfilment of covenants shall forfeit any claim or 

 right to such allowance for imi^rovements. 



The proportion of the proposed conditional allowances to be regulated as 

 follows : — 



1st. If the tenant drains the land at his own expense, with the consent and 

 subject to the inspection of the landlord or his agent, an allowance to be 

 made for the materials and workmanship, for ^eujlit to fourtvtn years as the 

 case may 5e] years, so that the allowance shall yearly diminish in 



equal proportions, and be cancelled by years' enjoyment of the im- 



in'ovement.
