General Description.

Hornby Settlement is situated between the Hornby Railway-station and Springs Road, being from half a mile to a mile southward from the former by a good road. Hornby Railway-station is situated at the junction of the southern Trunk Railway with the Southbridge Railway, six miles from Christchurch by rail. The settlement may also be approached by tramway from Christchurch to Sockburn, five miles, and thence by good metalled road, one mile. The property has been acquired by the Government for the purpose of providing working-men and others engaged in the industries established at or near Hornby and the freezing-works established at Islington, about a mile and a half distant, with small allotments on which to settle permanently and make homes for themselves and their families.

The land is practically level, and of excellent quality, capable of growing crops of potatoes, oats, wheat, clover, &c. Provision has been made for water-supply by means of a well, windmill, and tank, erected at a central point in the settlement, from which water will be distributed to one point on each allotment, whence the selector can provide his own connection.

The road intersecting the settlement has been extended through an adjoining property so as to provide a direct connection with the main road through Hornby Township, and this road will be constructed by the Government in due course.

The improvements on the sections consist of gorse and bank fences and gorse, bank, and wire fences, which are included in the capital values. The following are the respective values of the fencing on the several sections:—
