NATIONAL-ENDOWMENT LAND.

SECTION S.G. Run 107 : Area, 18,212 acres. Capital value,
£2,665. Half-yearly rent, £66 12s. 6d.
Weighted with £2,745, for improvements comprising eight-roomed dwellinghouse, £700 ; men’s quarters, £200 ; wool-shed, £350 ; two huts and yards, £80 ; implement-shed and workshop, £40 ; sheep-yards, £30 ; dip, £40 ; water-supply, £50 ; old stable and slaughter-house, £10 ; fowlhouse, £10 ; bushfelling and grassing £400 ; 1,300 chains subdivisional fencing, £650 ; and half-value of 700 chains boundary-fencing, £350, less £165, being the Crown’s interest in subdivisional and boundary fencing which is included in the value of the land.
The sum is payable in cash or, if the selector desires, terms for payment of £2,550 of the loading may be arranged with the parties interested in the improvements. Any applicant desiring such financial accommodation is advised to communicate at the earliest possible date with the Commissioner of Crown Lands for information regarding terms and conditions of same.
In the opinion of the Land Board it is desirable that applicants should be able to command at least £2,000 in cash, but any application from a suitable substantial applicant will be considered on its merits.
The run, known locally as Waiau-Toa, is situated on the southern side of the Clarence River, and nine or ten miles from the Main South Road at Clarence Bridge. The country is steep and broken, and its height above sea-level varies from a few hundred feet to 4,097 ft., its higher parts being subject to snow in winter. There is tussock and some cocksfoot on the crests of the spurs, with mountain flax, tawhinu, manuka, and birch on the slopes. The eastern face of the run, although steep, carries good soil in places, and is capable of much improvement by felling and grassing. The western face of the run is difficult country to muster and is only dry-sheep country, but it is considered that the eastern face, when made stock-proof and the pigs and wild sheep eradicated, should be good ewe country.
It is estimated to carry in its present state 3,000 strong wethers and 100 head of cattle. Present death rate in sheep probably up to 10 per cent.
Road access is bad. For about 20 to 30 chains the hillside is slipping into the Clarence River, and it is hopeless trying to keep road open over this slip.
Full particulars may be obtained at this office.
