Section comprises good quality flat land, about 29 acres of which is in pasture; balance is swampy. This is a handy little dairy farm. Valuation for four-roomed house, cow-byre, and fencing is included in the capital value.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION.

These sections are situated within the Parihaka Block, distant about twenty-six miles from New Plymouth by the Main South Road. A daily motor service passes the block. They are within easy reach of the Pungarehu Dairy Factory, school, post-office, store, and township. The soil is of a volcanic-loam quality, well watered. At the present time the sections show signs of neglect, but with clearing and ploughing can be brought back into good dairying lands. Altitude, 300 ft. to 400 ft. above sea-level.

Financial Instructions and Allowance Regulations for the New Zealand Military Forces amended.

CHARLES FERGUSSON, Governor-General.

IN pursuance and exercise of the powers and authority conferred on me by the Defence Act, 1909, and its amendments, I, General Sir Charles Fergusson, Baronet, Governor-General of the Dominion of New Zealand, do hereby amend in the manner and to the extent set forth in the Schedule hereto the Financial Instructions and Allowance Regulations for the New Zealand Military Forces published in the New Zealand Gazette dated the sixth day of August, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-five; and I do hereby declare that the amendments hereby made shall take effect as from the date of publication thereof in the Gazette.

SCHEDULE.

FINANCIAL INSTRUCTIONS AND ALLOWANCE REGULATIONS FOR THE NEW ZEALAND MILITARY FORCES.

1. PARAGRAPH 165 is hereby revoked, and the following substituted:—

“165. The regimental-funds grant will be paid annually to each unit of the Territorial Force and Senior Cadets as a regimental fund to be administered by the O.C. unit. From this fund the following expenses will be met:—

(1.) Postage, cheque-books, and bank charges.

(2.) Any other expenditure which in the opinion of the O.C. Command will be of military benefit to the unit.”

2. Paragraph 180 is hereby revoked, and the following substituted:—

“180. In addition to the grant under para. 165, a further annual grant of £75 to regimental bands and £25 to cadet bands will be made towards the upkeep of all approved regimental and cadet bands other than bugle, drum and fife, or pipe bands. The O.C. Command may, at his discretion, authorize the O.C. Unit to pay this grant or any portion thereof as an honorarium to the bandmaster of an approved band. Where a doubt exists as to the eligibility of any particular band to draw this grant the matter must be submitted to General Headquarters for decision.

“In the case of a regiment maintaining an unapproved band (i.e., a band for which a special grant is not provided), there is no objection to such regiment using portion of its regimental-funds grant towards the upkeep of a band, including an honorarium to the bandmaster, if, in the opinion of the O.C. Command, such band is of military benefit to the unit. It must be distinctly understood, however, that the regimental-funds grant cannot be increased to meet such expenditure.

“Payments will be made annually in advance on the 1st April in each year.

“All applications for the grant must be accompanied by a certificate signed by the Commanding Officer that the band carried out its training during the previous year.

“The provisions of Regulations 168, 171 to 179, and 181 to 185 will be adhered to in so far as they are applicable.”
