SCHEDULE.

TOWN OF TURANGARERE.

Locality and Description.

The Town of Turangarere is situated on the right bank of
the Hautapu River, adjoining the Turangarere Railway-station, about eleven miles from Taihape and about eight
miles from Waiouru. The township comprises easy undulating and hilly country, covered with a vegetation of tussock,
English, and native grasses. The soil is of a light, porous
nature, thus making dry building-sites. The main road
from Taihape to Pipiriki and Tokaanu passes through this
township. The Hautapu River is considered by experienced
anglers to be one of the best trout-streams in the North
Island. The township is situated in what in a short time
will be an important sawmilling centre, as there is a large
area of good milling-timber (bush) yet untouched, which
will eventually find an outlet at the Turangarere Railway-station. Several mills are now in operation, and negotiations
are being completed for the purchase of several milling-areas
in the locality. There is also a flaxmill in full operation not
far from the township-site. A large area of long-settled
country will also be served by this township.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE.

1. (a.) Each lot is sold subject to a reserve price. If any
   dispute arises as to any bidding the auctioneer shall put up
   the lot again at the last undisputed bidding.

to the auctioneer a deposit of £10 per cent. on the amount

cent. per annum on the whole of the unpaid balance of the
purchase-money.

The purchaser may at any prior time pay off the whole of
the balance of the purchase-money.

   and, on such sale being effected, to execute transfers thereof
