Matamata Settlement.

A. R. P. s. d. £ s. d.
2 | II. | 156 3 25 | 6 9 | 26 9 7

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.

138 | IX. | 430 0 0 | 1 10·5 | 20 3 2

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.)
