KAUPOKONUI SURVEY DISTRICT.

NGAIRE SURVEY DISTRICT.

Description of the Land.—These sections are inland
of the Waimate Plains and to the west of the Wai-
ngongoro Stream. They adjoin the continuous belt
of Native reserves.
From Manaia and Okaiawa, on the open plains,
roads are now being opened up to this land, and
other roadways are being cleared to give access to
the railway-line from Waitara and New Plymouth,
which is now open to the Eltham Station, within
about a mile of the block.
The continuation of the railway to Hawera is now
under construction; it skirts the land for three miles,
and when completed the distance by rail to Hawera
will be about ten miles.
With the exception of a few rata the bush consists
mainly of soft woods and other light timber, and can
easily be cleared. The country is well watered, and
is admirably adapted for conversion into grass lands.
Twenty-two sections, scattered over the block, have
been disposed of at good prices on the deferred-
payment system, and one-third of the proceeds will,
under the provisions of "The Land Act, 1877," Part
III., be spent on roads within or to open up the
block for the benefit of the selectors.
Terms of Payment.—The terms of payment are:
One-fourth cash to accompany the application, and
the remaining three-fourths within one month after
the applicant has been declared the purchaser. The
Crown-grant fee to be paid with the balance of the
purchase-money.

C. A. WRAY,
Commissioner of Crown Lands.
