The section comprises part of the well-known Hillboro Settle-
ment, situated on an unnamed road, five miles from Otaio
Post-office, three miles from Esk Valley School, and five

old pasture, 20 acres ploughed, 30 acres rape stubble, balance
in natural state, and homestead. The improvements comprise

included in the rental value of the property and remains the
property of the Crown. The buildings are old and not in the
best of repair. When grassed down and limed the area should
carry 250 ewes and is also suitable for growing of oats, roots,
and green feed.

• Special Condition.—After payment of the deposit and other
  amounts required, the successful applicant will be granted a
  remission of one year's rent provided improvements are effected to
  at least an equivalent value to the satisfaction of the
