GENERAL DESCRIPTION.

The Meadows Settlement is situated between the Christchurch—Dunedin Main Trunk Railway line and the well-known Washdyke Lagoon, the south-western corner of the settlement being distant about half a mile from the Washdyke Junction Railway-station, at the junction of the branch line to Fairlie with the main line. The distance from the business portion of the Town of Timaru to the settlement is about four miles, and the Washdyke school lies within a distance of one mile.

The settlement consists of flat agricultural land of good quality, on subsoil of clay and gravel. The quality of the land and its situation, together with the proximity of the dairy factory at Timaru, render it admirably adapted for small-farming and dairying purposes. The road leading through the settlement and giving access to the various sections will be constructed by the Government in due course.

The buildings on the homestead section are in particularly good order, the dwellinghouse being built of brick; there is a good garden, and the grounds are well laid out.
