SCHEDULE

TARANAKI LAND DISTRICT.—SUBURBAN LANDS
Taranaki County.—Block VI, Paritutu Survey District

Each section is weighted with £40 (payable in cash) for
improvements, comprising clearing, stumping, and grassing.
These sections are situated just outside the Borough of New
Plymouth adjoining the Smart Road Railway-station and one
mile from the Waiwakaiho Saleyards. The land is level to easy
undulating; the pastures have deteriorated through lack of fertilizer; the aspect is sunny but exposed to prevailing winds. No
natural water-supply is available, but the town supply passes along
the Main North Road. The sections are free of weeds.
Any ex-serviceman who intends to apply for rehabilitation
assistance is advised to contact the District Rehabilitation Officer
before lodging his application to ascertain what assistance will be
available to him in the event of his application being successful.
The advice given by the Rehabilitation Officer as to the assistance
available should be attached to the application.
In the event of an ex-serviceman who is graded for a small
area for nursery work, vegetable growing, &c., requiring a larger
area, he may be permitted to acquire two contiguous units provided
he has an indication from the Rehabilitation Department that he
is eligible for financial assistance up to the normal limits for the
purpose for which he requires the property.
Any further information required may be obtained from the
undersigned.
A. C. R. ANDERSON,
Commissioner of Crown Lands.
