Dairy Farm.

• Interest and sinking fund on buildings valued at £323, repayable in twenty-one years by half-yearly instalments of £12 12s. Total half-yearly payment, £27 5s.

This section comprises about 15 acres slightly hilly land adjoining the main road; the remainder is flat. The flat is from 90 ft. to 100 ft. above sea-level. The greater portion of the flat is suitable for cultivation; at present it is sown with English grasses, divided into three paddocks by wire fences. There are two or three small patches of manuka, affording good shelter for stock. The Mangapakeha Stream, which runs through this section, is washing away its banks considerably, and altogether there are 14 acres of the flat included in the river-bed. The soil is of a clayey nature, inclined to be swampy in winter. The only permanent water is the Mangapakeha Stream, but probably water can be obtained by sinking wells. The section is fenced all round, and is subdivided into three paddocks. On this section is a substantially built totara wool-store and stable, 42 ft. by 47 ft., and four-roomed cottage, 31 ft. by 26 ft., and another small building, 15 ft. by 10 ft., all equally well built and in good repair. Round the back of the wool-store is a high boarded fence (6 ft. 6 in.), and round the cottage a totara fence 4 ft. 6 in. high. The improvements which go with the land are: Half-value of 66 chains of fencing between Sections 1 and 1A (seven plain wires, posts 16 ft. apart, and two
