DESCRIPTION OF SECTIONS.

Section 1 : This section contains approximately 70 acres of flat land, which will be eventually suitable for dairying, and the balance of the section is undulating to hilly, but should prove ideal grazing country when cleared.

Section 2 : This section is all flat land of good quality with the exception of approximately 50 acres which is inclined to be stony. Land is of fair quality and should prove suitable for dairying when cleared and grassed.

Section 3 : This section has approximately 80 acres of flat land suitable for dairying when cleared and grassed, and the balance is undulating to hilly, suitable for grazing when cleared and grassed.

Section 4 : This section contains approximately 100 acres of flat land of good quality, suitable for dairying when cleared and grassed; the balance being hilly to undulating, suitable for grazing when improved.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION.

The Hautapu Block is situated up the Rangitikei River, on the Omatane and Inland roads, about seven miles distant from Utiku Railway-station by good metalled road. About 21 chains of new roading is necessary to give access to Section 1, and arrangements have already been made for this work to be carried out. Care has been exercised in the subdivisional scheme, and each section has been given an area of flat land of good quality which is considered to be suitable for dairying eventually. The hilly area, when felled and grassed should be good sheep country. Good fencing-lines and suitable building-sites, together with the best allocation of the available water-supply have been provided for in each subdivision. Where water on the flat areas is considered to be insufficient it would appear to be easily obtainable by sinking wells.

The whole block comprises standing bush from which the millable timbers have all been removed. The present vegetation consists of rangiora, kowhai, konini, whitewood, lacebark, &c. Soil is of a chocolate loam on clay, shingle, and shell rock formation. The block is fairly well watered by springs. Altitude ranges from 1,500 ft. to 2,000 ft. above sea-level.

As witness the hand of His Excellency the Governor-General, this 14th day of April, 1931.
