raise the conditions

"He raised the conditions of new appropriations of lands."
What does this mean?
1. "He made the conditions stricter"?
2. "He introduced new conditions"?
Thank you.

What indeed!?
I think you'll need to provide a little more context on this one. As it stands it could be as you suggest or even that he asked a question or brought the subject up at a meeting. Do you have more to go on?
