(Exempt from payment of rent for two years.*)

*Exemption from payment of rent for two years is conditional on the lessee effecting improvements to the value of £15 during the concession period, in addition to the usual improvements required under the Land Act, 1924.

The section is situated on the Kawakawa-Ruapekapeka-Towai metalled road, five miles from Towai, and comprises practically all undulating to steep country in titree scrub, approximately 25 acres being ploughable. The soil is medium to heavy clay resting on sandstone formation; fairly well watered by a stream. There is very little bush left in the gully. The property is not particularly well suited for a separate unit, but would work in well with an adjoining section or as a winter run-off.

Any further particulars required may be obtained from the undersigned.

Commissioner of Crown Lands.
