- Porangahau only realized the upset price £994-19 and Potutu £603-5- the latter was not all sold £895-9- for the former and £235-14- for the latter will be due on the 6th. proxo. I have advertised the suburban land at Havelock, the rural land at Waihua and the withdrawn section at Turiroa for sale on the 22nd. Augt. and I hope to get the Clive portion to advertize for the 28th. Augst. so as to bring in some rev. to make our accounts look better by the end of September. I should like to know your wishes respecting the Nuhaka Block (ready for sale) with your permission I would advertise it when necessary, for I hardly know how we shall manage to get on without bringing it into the market especially as we have £2700 add of Land Purchase a/c to clear off soon. I hope we shall be able to retain our 3/8 of the Customs without deduction. When is that incubus the Native Land Court going to sit here, as it will be advisable to get as much land as possible passed through it. There is some land on the road to Tarehias Bridge which would sell well, and Whangewehi would bring Mahia into request - also Moeangiangi - Waikari and Kohini inkau. There is a demand for Bush sections at Pohui, but we have no surveyors to subdivide it for sale. What about the Hawkes Bay Land Act of last session General Assembly. Has it received the Queens assent? We could devise some revenue worth having if we could lease the Runs in the North. I paid today £79 for Fees leviable on the lease for the Papakura and Hikatoto Blocks - 10 per cent on the £790, the rent we pay for the future.
