Mangaweka, formerly known as Three-log Whare, is situ-
ated on the Main North Island Inland Road and railway-
line, the latter being opened as far as Mangaonoho, distant
about twelve miles.

The township itself is situated at the junction of the road
now under construction to Pemberton and the special settle-
ments to the eastward, and will eventually be the main out-
let to a very large area on the eastern side of the Rangitikei
River.

The land is level (with the exception of that near the
railway-line), of good quality, and the whole has originally
been heavily timbered. Clearings, buildings, and other im-
provements have, however, been made in both the town and
suburbs, and the sections affected are weighted with the
values of these. That portion of the township which yet
remains to be felled is now being done at the expense of the
Government.

TAIHAPE TOWNSHIP.

The sections being offered form a part only of the town-
ship, which it is intended to offer later on. It is situated on
the main inland road from Hunterville, near the Hautapu
River crossing, in the Awarua Block, and will probably form
an important centre when the large areas of Crown and
Native lands in the Awarua Block become settled upon. The
proposed North Island Railway has been surveyed through
the township.

TERMS OF SALE.

One-fifth of the purchase-money, together with the amount
with which the section is weighted for improvements (if any),
to be paid at the close of the auction, and the balance,
together with £1 Crown-grant fee, within thirty days, or the
deposit will be forfeited. There are no restrictions or limita-
tions imposed upon purchasers of these sections.
