The balance of this section is divided from the flat by the railway line and the portion lying on the Wanganui side of the line is all hITTy. A good homestead can be made on a portion of this hilly country, if necessary. The third property, consisting of 442 acres, is situated about 7 miles from Wanganui and is directly opposite Mr. H. E.
