SECTION 7, Block XII : Area, 609 acres. Capital value, £155. Deposit on deferred payments, £5 : Half-yearly instalment on deferred payments, £4 17s. 6d. Half-yearly rent, £3 2s.
Subject to a reduction of rent by 50 per cent. for five years and a remission of interest for five years on condition that the amount of the concessions each year is expended in permanent improvements to the property.
Weighted with £270 for improvements, comprising dwelling, wool-shed, two sheds, 240 chains fencing, plantations, 120 acres felled, burned, and grassed.
The sum is payable in cash, or, after payment of a deposit of £10, the balance may be secured on mortgage to the State Advances Corporation of New Zealand for a period of thirty-five years at interest 4½ per cent. reducible to 4¼ per cent. for prompt payment, gross half-yearly instalments of principal and interest being £7 10s. 7d.

This property is situated thirty-seven miles from Taumarunui, twenty-two miles from Owhango Railway-station, and one mile from the school, access being by metalled road. There are about 20 acres of pumaceous flats in the front of the section, the balance of the area being steep, broken, and precipitous with a few bad gorges. About 120 acres lie to the sun, but the remainder is so broken as to render the larger portion shady. The back country can be worked only by means of a narrow track which is continually slipping. The altitude is from 700 ft. to 1,200 ft., and the property is well watered. With the exception of about 120 acres of scattered grass the section has reverted and would be uneconomic to recondition. Stock losses are high. No fencing timber is available. Generally the section is a poor unworkable one and entirely unsuitable as a separate farming unit.
Any further particulars required may be obtained from the undersigned.

Commissioner of Crown Lands.
