First-class Land.

This section is situated near the south-eastern end of the Marawiti Settlement, which was originally a portion of Mr. J. C. Wason’s Corwar Estate. It is distant from Lauriston Railway-station on the Rakaia-Methven Branch line about five miles, from Barr Hill Post-office and School nearly two miles, and from Rakaia about twelve miles. It comprises good level agricultural land, with black soil over a subsoil of deep loamy clay on a shingle formation. The elevation is about 800 ft. above sea-level. A county water-race traverses the whole frontage, and another passes along a portion of the back boundary of the section. Off about 40 acres of the section there have been taken several successive grain-crops: this portion has now been laid down in clover, and the new lessee will be required to keep it in pasture for at least three years before breaking it up for crop. The improvements effected upon the land by the former lessee consist of dwellinghouse and lean-to, with iron roof and double brick chimney; three sheds, partially constructed of wood and iron; half the fencing along the north-western and south-eastern boundaries, and about 26 chains of internal fencing: the whole valued at £111 11s., which sum must be paid by the incoming tenant before being admitted to possession of the section. The fencing on the road frontage and back boundaries belongs to the land, and is not included in the above valuation.
