Description of Sections: These sections are situated in the Wanganui Harbour Board Block, Oroua County, on or adjacent to the Oroua River, and comprise generally hilly undulating land. The area is covered generally with forest of tawa, rimu, &c.; there is totara on some of the sections. The soil is mostly of good quality, and the block should when cleared be well suited for agricultural and pastoral purposes. The access is by the Taonui Zigzag-lines and the Oroua River-bed. The Wanganui Harbour Board is now engaged in doing some bush-work and track-formation on Pollock's and Awa Roads.

Applications for the deferred-payment sections will be received at this office on Wednesday, the 18th June, 1890, up to 4.30 p.m. In cases of contested sections, applicants will be informed, in order that they may forward tenders, which will be opened on Thursday, the 26th June, 1890. If personal attendance is not possible, agents should be appointed, in order that tenders may be received before that date. Complete addresses must in all cases be given.

Conditions: With the applications for deferred-payment sections one-twentieth of the upset price and £1 1s. license-fee must be paid in cash, or by post office order, bank draft, or marked cheque; the balance of the purchase-money in half-yearly instalments extending over ten years. Where more applications than one are made on the same day for the same land, the land applied for shall be put up to public competition by tender limited to the applicants. If there be only one tenderer for any allotment, he shall be entitled to the land at the upset price, notwithstanding that his tender may have been for a higher price.
