All road-lines forming boundaries of sections must be
securely fenced so that cattle shall not damage the drains
or stop-banks.

Stop-banks, roads, drains, and protective works considered
necessary will be completed by the Department. All main
drains will be maintained for two years from date of ballot.
The Department reserves the right at any time to make
new drains or deepen drains through any section.

IMPROVEMENTS.

Attention is drawn to the fact that the fence and drain
shown on eastern boundaries of Section 14, Block XI,
Thames Survey District; Sections 7 and 16, Block II,
Waihou Survey District; Section 7, Block VI, Waihou
Survey District; and Section I, Block VII, Waihou
Survey District, have been erected and constructed by Messrs.
Bagnall Bros. at their own expense. The fence where
shown on plan is generally along the boundary-lines of sec-
tions mentioned, but the drain is entirely on the property of
Messrs. Bagnall Bros.

The improvements which go with the land are as follows,
the measurements being in all cases approximate:

17 acres of grass in good heart.
