Notice of Meeting of Owners.

MATAHINA A No. 1D; MATAHINA A No. 2; MATAHINA A
No. 3B.

ON the 31st July, 1914, the owners of these blocks passed
resolutions whereby they agreed to sell the same at
prices then decided upon. Owing to certain circumstances,
the proposed purchasers have hitherto not been able to
complete. There now seems to be a prospect of their being
able to do so, and certain proposals have been put forward.

The Board is of opinion that all persons interested should
have an opportunity of considering the position, and of
discussing the matter with the representatives of the pur-
chasers. With this object in view, a meeting of the owners is
hereby convened by the undersigned.

Such meeting will be held at Whakatane on Tuesday, the
17th April, 1923, at 10.30 a.m., when a full attendance is
desired.

Dated at Rotorua this 7th day of March, 1923.

Deputy President, Waiariki District
