the same applies to all the necessary bridges and culverts. The necessary flood-gates will be constructed within the next few months. There are main outlet drains down the roads, and in addition drains between Sections 16 and 17 and on the southern boundary of Section 21, whilst there is also a drain on the western boundaries of Sections 17 to 21. A stop-bank with a drain along side is now under construction along the Waitakaruru Stream.

There is no permanent water-supply on these sections, but good water can be obtained from the Waitakaruru Stream, and also from the drains, except in very dry seasons.

The nearest school is two miles and a half away towards Pipiroa, but the Education Board has decided to build a school in the immediate vicinity of these sections.

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