SCHEDULE.
HOROWHENUA BLOCK. — TOWNSHIP OF LEVIN. — SUBURBAN
SECTIONS.

Description of Land: The sections in the Horowhenua
Block are situated in the Horowhenua District, on the
Wellington-Manawatu Railway, at Levin, sixty miles from
Wellington and twenty-eight miles from Palmerston North.
The area is nearly level; the soil varies from fair to good..
The whole area is covered by a mixed forest, including matai,
tawa, hinau, and usual undergrowth, which has been cut
into and utilised for Bartholomew and Dunn's saw-mill.
There are no permanent watercourses; wells have been sunk
on the railway-line and Suburban Section 58, and good water
obtained at depths between 20ft. and 40ft. The block is
situated in the centre of one of the most extensive and fertile
tracts of flat country between the Manawatu and Wellington;
it is intersected by the county road, and is contiguous to the
Horowhenua Lake, a fine picturesque sheet of water about
two miles long by one mile in width. The sea-coast is only
six miles off, and has one of the finest hard sandy beaches
in the colony. The general elevation of the flats varies from
100ft. to 200ft. above the sea, and the climate is equable and
most favourable; the capabilities of the country for all pur-
poses of agriculture, dairy-farming, fruit-growing, market-
gardening, &c., can hardly be exaggerated, and it may be
anticipated that the district is destined to be one of the
richest and most densely-populated parts of the colony.
