   GENERAL DESCRIPTION.
   The sections for selection lie between the Piako and Wai-
   toa Rivers, and consist of partly drained swamp lands and
   high, dry, flat ridges. The access is from Waitoa Railway-
   station by No. 1 Road, distant six miles and three-quarters
   by formed cart-road, the last mile of which is about to be
   re-formed. Access is also obtained from Waitoa Station
   by No. 7 Road, distant seven miles and three-quarters, of
   which one mile has yet to be formed. The distance from
   Morrinsville Railway-station by formed cart-road is some
   eleven miles and a half to the permanent bridge-site over
   the Piako River. A temporary bridge is now in position,
   but a permanent bridge will ere long be erected in its
   place.
   There is also a temporary foot-bridge across the Piako
   River near the western end of Whakahoro Road, but this
   is merely a service bridge for convenience of workmen,
   and will later on be removed.
   The land consists of good, dry, loamy soil ridges, hard
   swamp, and peaty swamp of varying depth, resting upon
   a pumice formation. The land adjacent to Piako River is
   generally high, and is, with a few exceptions, well above
   high-flood conditions, and is covered with heavy manuka,
   cabbage-trees, flax, light bush, fern, and light manuka.
   The sections fronting West Road run from hard swamp
   country covered with flax, cabbage-trees, &c., to deep and
   shallow peat covered with wiwi, &c., with some loamy, dry,
   flat ridges in places. Sections fronting Whakahoro Road
   embrace land running from dry, loamy, flat ridges, hard
   swamp in flax, to shallow and deeper peat swamp in wiwi
   and flax, with a good amount of rough feed and grass on
   same. The sections between the North and Paeroa—Tahuna
   Roads and east of the West Road are generally of a peaty
   nature.
   The land is of generally good quality throughout, especi-
   ally where the loamy ridges and hard swamp bottoms obtain.
