Matamata Settlement.

Agricultural and pastoral land of a light loamy nature,
nearly all ploughable. Practically the whole area is in
grass, only a few acres of manuka having been left as
shelter for stock. The section is quite level, and some
210 ft. above sea-level. Wells will have to be sunk to obtain water. The section is fenced on three sides, one of
which will have to be moved 1 chain further south-west, so
as to be on the new road-line. Distant about half a mile
from Matamata Railway-station. The improvements, which
are included in the price of the land, consist of 74 chains of
road fencing, value £30 8s.; half-share in 33 chains of
fencing between Sections 1 and 2, value £8 5s.: total value,
£38 13s. (The road on southern boundary is 1 chain off the
true line, but the selector can move the fence towards the
road at his convenience.)

13 | II. | 194 3 15 | 4 6 | 21 18 5

Agricultural and pastoral land of good light loamy nature.
All level, with altitude of about 210 ft. About 125 acres
fallow after rape, 40 acres cleared and surface-sown, and
balance in manuka and scrub. There are a good number of
drains on the section, which the tenant must keep open.
Distant half a mile from Matamata Railway-station. Water
may be obtained by sinking wells. The improvements,
which are included in the price of the land, consist of half-
share in 70 chains of fencing on south boundary; value,
£17 10s.

Pastoral land of light loamy nature, of ultimate good
value, and largely ploughable. Undulating to flat, with
altitude of about 280 ft. About 150 acres in grass; balance
manuka and scrub, including about 45 acres of swamp
capable of being drained. Section watered on south-east
corner. No fencing on this section. Distance from
Hinuera Railway-station about two miles and a half.

96 | IX. | 233 0 0 | 1 9 | 10 3 11

Agricultural and pastoral land of a light loamy nature;
all ploughable. Section quite level, with altitude of about
250 ft. The whole area is in grass, rather worn out. The
section is ring-fenced. The fence along the Mangawhara
Stream is not on the true boundary, being a give-and-take one,
and the selector will have to make arrangements with the
adjoining holder for the retention of the fence or its removal
to the true boundary. The Mangawhara Stream dries up at
times, and therefore water must be obtained by sinking
wells. Distant half a mile from Matamata Railway-station.
The improvements, which are included in the price of the
land, are half-share in 140 chains boundary-fence, value £35;
the whole of 118 chains fencing on road-boundary, value
£59: total, £94. (The value of this section has been fixed
at a low figure on account of the amount of Canadian
thistle scattered over it.)
