the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, do hereby
appoint Tuesday, the twenty-eighth day of November, one

SCHEDULE.

TARANAKI LAND DISTRICT.—TOWN OF ARIA.

Town Lands.

Suburban Lands.

Aria is situated near the ford on the south-eastern side of
the Mokau-iti Stream, at the junction of the Mokau, Ohura,
Kiekie, and Kumara Roads, and is distant from Te Kuiti
Railway-station about twenty-four miles via the Awakino-
Te Kuiti Road, which is formed for dray traffic to Piopio
for fifteen miles, the remainder being a riding-track only.
It is also distant from Ongarue Railway-station about forty-
four miles, by the Ohura-Stratford dray-road for about
nineteen miles, the remainder being a riding-track only.
There are also riding-roads to Totoro, Mahoenui, and
Mangaroa, all converging at this point, and which open up
large areas of Crown and Native lands in the neighbourhood.
The site of the town is practically level, and is covered
with fern, grass, and light manuka scrub.

The suburban sections consist of flat terraces at front,
covered with fern, and sloping down to raupo swamps at
back. These swamps have a good fall into the Mokau-iti
Stream, and can be easily drained. The soil is a loose loam
of fair quality, and should grow good grass.

TOWN OF MANGANUI.

Suburban Lands.

Good grass land. On the Te Arei Road, three miles south
of Huirangi, and six miles from Waitara ; it is also access-
able by the Everett and Bristol Roads, from Inglewood
(eight miles distant) through the Rimutauteka Block.

VILLAGE OF TARATA.

Village Land.

Tarata Village is situated on the Junction Road, where it
crosses the Waitara River, eleven miles and a half east of
Inglewood. There is a Government school in the village, and
ample reserves have been made for recreation, public
buildings, &c.

As witness the hand of His Excellency the Governor,
this twenty-third day of September, one thousand
nine hundred and five.
