GENERAL DESCRIPTION.

The Buddo Settlement is situated from three-quarters of a mile to a mile and a half from the Belfast Railway-station, on the northern trunk railway-line, by a good road. Belfast is distant nine miles from Christchurch by rail. The property has been acquired by the Government for the purpose of providing working-men and others engaged in the industries established at and near Belfast with small lots on which to settle permanently and make homes for themselves and their families. The rents are reasonable and the terms secure. The settlement adjoins the property of the Canterbury Frozen Meat Company, and is close at hand to the company’s freezing-works and other industries established at and in the vicinity of Belfast.

The quality of the land is good, being alluvial deposit on a substratum of shingle. The land is practically level, with a slight fall to the Kaputone Stream. Excellent crops of potatoes, onions, oats, clover, &c., have been grown on the property. All the sections, with the exception of Nos. 2, 3, 12, and 13, have frontages to Kaputone Stream. There are artesian bores on Sections 3 and 12, and a well on Section 11. Water can be obtained on any of the sections by sinking a short distance. The fences along the frontages of Sections 3, 4, 5, 12, and 13 are erected on the public road, and the obligation of removing them to the legal boundaries is imposed on the tenants.

Section 5 contains a good barn and cow-byre, and shed, and as part of the latter is standing on the road it will have to be removed when the Commissioner of Crown Lands or the local body so directs. Section 12 contains a comfortable cottage of five rooms, with conveniences, valued at £185, repayable by the tenant in cash, or in twenty-one years by half-yearly instalments of £7 4s. 4d.

As witness the hand of His Excellency the Governor, this seventeenth day of February, one thousand nine hundred and ten.
