SCHEDULE.

TARANAKI LAND DISTRICT.—TOWN OF WHANGAMOMONA.

• A dairy factory is in course of erection on this section. The section will be weighted with the value of the building, which will be announced on the day of sale.

Whangamomona Township is situate on the Ohura Road, which is the leading highway between Stratford and Ongarue, and is distant about forty miles from the former town. It is the centre of a very large extent of Crown lands opened for settlement from time to time during the past six years; the holdings in the neighbouring districts vary in size from about 50 acres up to 2,000 acres, the occupations of the settlers being chiefly dairying and cattle-raising. The township lies in the upper valley of the Whangamomona, the first sections being laid off in 1898, and already comprises stores, one large hotel, public hall, and has post and telegraph conveniences. There are dairy factories and schools close at hand, and another central dairy factory is in course of erection. The lots being offered front the Whangamomona Valley Road, those on the north side being practically level and open; on the south, along the frontage, the land is level and sloping, but rises more or less steep towards the back, and is mostly in forest.

As witness the hand of His Excellency the Governor, this seventh day of March, one thousand nine hundred and four.
