GENERAL DESCRIPTION.

Bartholomew Settlement, recently acquired from Mr.
P. Bartholomew, comprises an area of nearly 98 acres sub-
divided into six lots, and is situated between the Makomako
and Beach Roads about a mile west of the Levin Railway-
station, from which there is access by a metalled dray-road.
All the sections are level, and most of them have been
ploughed and laid down in good English grasses. The soil
is of a light nature on shingle formation. The sections
fronting Makomako Road are adjacent to the Levin Race-
course and Showground, and are within a few minutes walk
of the Horowhenua Lake, the chief pleasure resort of Levin
and district. A good road runs past the settlement and
down to the foreshore of this lake. The sections fronting
the Beach Road are directly opposite the Government Ex-
perimental Farm. Hokio Beach, the popular seaside resort,
is distant only about three miles. The settlement is eminently
adapted for fruit-growing and poultry farming. The two
larger sections are suitable for dairying. The sections not
actually traversed by the borough water-races can easily be
connected with them. If desired, the borough high-pressure
water-supply is available for laying on at usual charges, also
gas and telephone.
