shed, valued at £500, payable in cash or in fourteen years by twenty-eight half-yearly instalments of £25 5s.; total half-yearly payment on lease, £98 16s. 6d.

The improvements included in the capital value are fencing (taking half the boundary fences), valued as follows: Section 1s, about 124 chains, £125; Section 2s, about 94 chains, £100; Section 3s, about 198 chains, £220. The fencing generally is sheep-proof fencing of seven wires in fair order. Some of the fences will probably require removal.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION.

Araheke Settlement is situated on the Egmont Road about one mile from Egmont Village, school, and dairy factory, and about nine miles and a half from New Plymouth, by good metalled road. The land is all fit for dairying, and varies from flat to undulating, and is well and conveniently watered. It is nearly all ploughable. About 20 acres of Section 2s are rather badly overrun with blackberry. The climate is moist, and favourable to the growth of the pasture. Some of the land would be better regrassed after crops which have been taken off over a small area. Altitude is about 300 ft. above sea-level.

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

The boundary fencing is generally sheep-proof, but the internal fences in some places are not very good. The soil is a volcanic loam.
