District Lands and Survey Office,
Wellington, 14th September, 1903.

NOTICE is hereby given that the undermentioned land will be open for selection on lease in perpetuity, at this office, on Tuesday, the 27th day of October, 1903, under the provisions of “The Land for Settlements Consolidation Act, 1900,” and amendments.

If more than one application is received for the section on the same day, the order of selection shall be decided by ballot.

SCHEDULE.

WELLINGTON LAND DISTRICT.—MANAWATU COUNTY.—RANGITOTO SURVEY DISTRICT.—OHAKA SETTLEMENT.

Dairy Farm.

Weighted with £113 10s., valuation for improvements.

This section is situated in the Ohakea Settlement and in what is known as the Sandon District. The access is from Bull’s, which is about two miles and a half distant by a good metalled road, and from Sanson, which is about two miles and a quarter distant by a good metalled road. The Sandon–Carnarvon tram-line runs past the section, and the Ohakea Railway-station is about a quarter of a mile from it. The section comprises about 35 acres of flat land fronting the main road, and 80 to 85 acres of flat land on the back portion; the rest is undulating: the whole area, however, except a few acres, is ploughable. The soil is of good quality, resting on clay-and-gravel formation. There is no forest, all the section being open. About 75 acres has been ploughed and cropped by the late lessee, but has not been sown in grass. The remainder was ploughed about eighteen years ago, and is in fairly good pasture, but wants breaking up again. The section is divided into three paddocks, and is watered by a dam on the north-west boundary. Water has been procured on adjoining farms by sinking wells 30 ft. to 40 ft. deep. The elevation ranges from about 160 ft. to 200 ft. above sea-level. The improvements which are included in the price of the land are 70 chains of ditch, bank, and gorse fencing. The improvements which have to be paid for by the incoming tenant comprise 73½ chains of fencing, and two-roomed house of sawn timber, 12 ft. by 24 ft., with brick chimney and iron roof.

The right is reserved to take a drain through the lower portion of the section, as shown on plan.
