• Weighted with £100, valuation for buildings.

These sections are situated in the Town of Waiho Gorge, recently laid out in view of a demand for business and residential sites, consequent on the opening of the Otira Tunnel and the increasing popularity of the district as a tourist resort. It also marks the present terminus of the tourist route, and is alongside the Glacier Hotel, the headquarters of visitors to the Franz Josef Glacier and the surrounding alpine district.

The land is practically level and covered with mixed heavy bush.

Regular communication is maintained with Hokitika, ninety miles distant, by a thrice-weekly mail-car service during the summer months, reduced to a bi-weekly service during the winter.

NOTE.—No liability will be admitted by the Department in respect of any trees that may, in the course of street-construction, fall on the sections offered for disposal.

As witness the hand of His Excellency the Governor-General, this 16th day of May, 1924.

D. H. GUTHRIE, Minister of Lands.
