TAHORA NOTES.

(From Our Own Correspondent.)

The township site of Tahora is to be cut up at last. Surveyors have S itched camp, and are busy laying off ie township. It is expected that the sections will bo sold. by public auction before Christinas. The area to bo cut up contains approximately seventy acres—large enough for a big town. It is situated at the junction of the Tahora and Ohura roads-,:and is also the Proposed site for the railway station, hould a town spring up here, it will have a fair amount of bfick country to support it, which at present helps to support Kohuratabi. In one direction about a mile from the township reserve there is a large block of native land containing many thousands of acres of good bush land, all |ying idle. I understand that most of it has been surveyed and ihat it belongs to natives in t the vicinity of Wanganui. It would bo a great help to"the district, also to the new railway when it' comes, if the Government bought this block from the natives and put it on the market.

Mr. W. L. Kennedy has sold his old home in Toko, and is coming to reside, on his property at Tahora as soon as the new house is completed. He will be a great help to the settlement being a farmer of long experience.
