LIVERPOOL, Governor.

IN pursuance and exercise of the powers and authorities
conferred upon me by the Land Act, 1908, I, Arthur
William de Brito Savile, Earl of Liverpool, the Governor of
the Dominion of New Zealand, do hereby declare and provide
as follows, that is to say :—

1. The rural lands enumerated in the Schedule hereto are
   hereby set apart for disposal by way of sale or selection on
   Wednesday, the twenty-third day of June, one thousand nine
   hundred and fifteen, at the respective prices specified in the
   said Schedule, and shall be deemed to be “heavy-bush land.”

3. No general rate shall be levied or collected by any local
   authority from the said lands for a period of four years from

SCHEDULE.

(Exempt from Rent and Rates for Four Years.)

Momahaki Survey District.

SECTION 1, Block IV : Area, 1,530 acres. Cash purchase :
Total price, £3,520. Occupation with right of purchase :
Half-yearly rent, £88. Renewable lease : Half-yearly rent,

yearly rent, £38. Renewable lease : Half-yearly rent,

Situated on the watershed between the Wanganui and
Waitotara Rivers. The altitude ranges from about 400 ft.
to 2,100 ft. above sea-level. The soil is of good quality, rest-
ing mainly on papa formation, though there are outcrops of
sandstone on one or two sections. The land is, generally
speaking, rough and broken, and the streams are gorgy ;
but there is sufficient flat or easy land on each section for
homestead-sites and horse-paddocks. The forest is heavy,
comprising tawa, rata, hinau, a few rimu, tawhiro, and a
little birch on the ridges ; the undergrowth is thick, com-
prising karamu, supplejack, &c. The forest is of no value
for milling purposes, but there is sufficient durable timber
for fencing and general purposes. The block, on the whole,
is well watered by branches of the Makakoho, Maungatainoka,
and other streams. The access is from Waitotara, which is
about thirty-five miles from the nearest point of the block.
There is a formed and partly metalled dray-road to within
about four miles of the block, the balance is a fair pack-track.
It is proposed to construct a bridle-track along the Taunoka
Road from Wanganui River near Te Mataha Rapid to end
of road-formation. Horse-tracks have been cut by the
surveyors when traversing the block. These tracks will be
found useful until roads are formed, and selectors will be
required to keep these pack-tracks open until other road
access is provided.

As witness the hand of His Excellency the Governor,
this twenty-second day of April, one thousand
nine hundred and fifteen.
