IMPROVEMENTS.

The following improvements, included in the capital value of the land, are for fencing valued as follows: Section 90 (60 chains netting), £42; Section 91 (22 chains netting), £15.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION.

The sections are situated on Galloway Flat, from a quarter of a mile to a mile and a half from Galloway Railway-siding on the Otago Central line. A school and a post-office are within half a mile of the railway siding, and the Town of Alexandra is three or four miles away. The soil along the south-eastern boundary of the sections is very fair, but that along the railway-line is inclined to be light and shingly. A supply of water for irrigation may probably be obtained from the Government race running along the south-eastern boundary.

Lucerne and fruit could probably be produced successfully on each section.

Sale posters and full particulars may be obtained at this office.
