Napier, 28th Sept., 1855.
SIR—I have now the honor to forward a copy of the completed plan of the town, and of part of the suburban sections of Napier, with a schedule of the amount in acres, and proposed upset prices of the same.
Site of Napier—Town and Suburban Sections.
- The site now laid out may be described, as your Honor is aware, as an oblong mass of hills; the whole mass being flattish topped, and of nearly uniform height, with precipitous or very steep sides (so as somewhat to resemble in shape an ordinary cape) but rent or cracked, as it were, into several ravines, forked and branching as they recede from the sea or the lagoons which almost entirely surround the elevated mass.
