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.
   (b.) Each purchaser shall, immediately after the sale, pay to the auctioneer a deposit of £10 per cent. on the amount of his purchase-money, and sign memorandum of agreement.
   (c.) The title to the land being Land Transfer, no requisitions thereon shall be made.
   (d.) The memorandum of transfer to each purchaser shall be prepared by him at his own expense.
   (e.) The purchase-money shall be payable as follows: 10 per cent. on the fall of the hammer, and thereafter 15 per cent. on the 1st July and the 1st January in each year, until the whole amount is paid off.
   No interest shall be charged on the unpaid purchase-money if the instalments are paid on the due dates, but if the purchaser shall be seven days in arrear in making payment the Board may charge interest at the rate of 5 per 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.
   (f.) If any purchaser shall fail to comply with these conditions his deposit shall be forfeited to the vendor as and for liquidated damages.
2. On payment of the balance of the said purchase-money the Board shall, at the cost of the purchaser, execute a memorandum or transfer in favour of the purchaser of the section or sections purchased by him free from encumbrances.
