Locality and Description.

Hawtrey Settlement is situated about 12 chains from the Railway-station at Johnsonville, and adjoins the northern boundary of the town. It is subdivided into areas containing good building-sites, and is suitable for persons employed in the city who wish to build homes for themselves.

The Government has now acquired the Manawatu Railway, and there is every probability of an improved train service between Wellington and Johnsonville.

The land is in grass, having been cleared and sown many years ago. The soil is of fair quality, on rock formation.
