3388 THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE. [No. 80

All the necessary main drains and roads to sections have
either been constructed or are under construction, and the
same applies to all necessary bridges and culverts. There
are main outlet drains along each road, whilst in addition
there are two large outlet drains, one being situated on the
reserve along northern boundary of Section 37, and the other
along the southern boundary of Section 41. In addition
there is a small drain along the southern boundaries of Sec-
tions 42 and 43 and 44 and 45; also along the western and
southern boundaries of Section 50. It is intended to con-
struct drains on the southern boundaries of Sections 38 and 40.

The Waikaka Outlet Drain, on the reserve between Sec-
tions 36, 31, 32, and 37, carries good water from the Waikaka
Stream all the year round; consequently a good supply of
water can be obtained for stock. In addition, good water
can also be obtained from the subdivisional drain on the
southern boundary of Section 50, as this drain taps a creek
rising in the hills.

At Waikaka there is a store and post-office, known as
Patetonga, which has telegraphic communication with Thames
over a private line. The nearest school and creamery is at
Tahuna, some eight miles distant by formed road. A village
(to be known as Patetonga) is now being laid out in the
vicinity of the lands to be offered, and in due course will be
put up for public auction. Creamery and school sites are
laid off in this vicinity.

SPECIAL CONDITIONS.

The lands are offered for selection subject to the following
special conditions:—
(1.) Sections must be ring-fenced by the successful appli-
cants before stocking, and all drains made by the Department
securely fenced off, so as to prevent damage to drains or road
by stock. The right is reserved to at any time enter and
make and deepen drains through any section without pay-
ment of compensation.
(2.) The successful applicant for any section shall himself
maintain all boundary, catchment, or surface drains within
his section; but the Department will maintain all road-drains
or drains that its officers may deem to be outlets or portions
thereof until such time as the maintenance rating clauses of
the Hauraki Plains Act come into force.
(3.) The Department reserves the right from time to time
to take any timber necessary for culverts, tram-lines, &c.,
from any section, and also to take any manuka, &c., for
fascines.

Full particulars may be ascertained and plans obtained at
this office.
