purposes, being within half an hour’s journey from Auckland
by either train, tramcar, or motor-bus.

Terms of Sale.

1. Cash.—One-fifth of the purchase-money to be paid on
   the fall of the hammer, and the balance, with Crown-grant fee
   (£1), to be paid within thirty days thereafter.

2. Deferred Payments.—Five per cent. of the purchase-
   money and license fee (£1 1s.) to be paid on the fall of the
   hammer, and the balance by equal half-yearly instalments ex-
   tending over 34½ years, bearing interest at the rate of 5½ per
   cent. per annum on the unpaid purchase-money, but with the
   right to pay off at any time the whole or any part of the out-
   standing amount.

Upon receipt of the final instalment a certificate of title in
respect of the land purchased shall issue upon payment of the
prescribed Crown-grant fee.

In either case, if the purchaser fails to make any of the
prescribed payments by due date, the amount already paid
shall be forfeited and the contract for sale of the land shall be
null and void.

Titles will be subject to Part XIII of the Land Act, 1924,
and section 85 of the Land for Settlements Act, 1925.

The lands are described for the general information of in-
tending bidders, who are recommended, nevertheless, to make
a personal inspection, as the Department is not responsible
for the absolute accuracy of any description.

Full particulars may be obtained at this office.
