GLASGOW, Governor.

IN pursuance and exercise of the powers and authorities conferred upon me by "The Land for Settlements Act, 1894," and the one hundred and thirty-sixth section of "The Land Act, 1892," I, David, Earl of Glasgow, the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, having received the report of the Surveyor-General in this behalf, as in the said one hundred and thirty-sixth section is provided, do hereby declare that the rural lands enumerated in the Schedule hereto shall be open for selection on and after the twenty-sixth day of June, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-five; and that the said lands may be selected on lease in perpetuity, subject to the provisions of "The Land Act, 1892"; and I do hereby declare that the rentals at which the said lands shall be leased shall be those mentioned in the said Schedule hereto opposite the description of such lands respectively.

SCHEDULE.

CANTERBURY LAND DISTRICT.—WAIMATE COUNTY.—OTAIO SURVEY DISTRICT.

Otaio Settlement.

This settlement is situated on the Bluecliffs Road, about three-quarters of a mile inland from the St. Andrew's Railway-station, and comprises open flat land about 40ft. above sea-level. The soil is generally good and of fair depth, but there are lighter patches of stony land running through the block. Lots 1, 2,3, 6, and 7 are nearly all in English grass; Lots 4, 5, 8, and 9 are in stubble, the two latter being also sown down with grass. There are small patches of gorse on Lots 8 and 9; Lots 6, 7, 8, and 9 comprise some rougher and poorer land next the Otaio River, Lot 6 being liable in part to flood. All the lots can easily be served by a water-race which runs through the centre of the block.

There is a good three-roomed wooden cottage, roofed with iron, on Lot 8, which must be insured for the sum of £80 in the name of the Queen by the lessee. The gorse boundary and wire subdivision fences, as shown on plan, are in good order.

The access is by the before-mentioned main road, and by the occupation roads, as shown on plan. The general good quality of the land and situation render these lots splendidly adapted for occupation by small farmers, gardeners, and other small settlers.

As witness the hand of His Excellency the Governor, this second day of May, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-five.
