THE SUBDIVISION OF THE HUA& 6AEOA AND OTAIiIA ESTATES. " (From the N,Z. Times. ) / . As limny rumours,- respecting the cutting up of tlio above properties have beeii abroad, the following particulars, witli .which we have been supplied by the Hon. Mr Martin, may be nt interest. On the Ist of July next upwards of 40,000 acres, hitherto known as tho Huangaroa ond Otaraia properties, will be submittal for sale by auotion, The whole 1 of tho land will be cut iip into sections varyj ing from fifty to one hundred acres each, I and in order to- open the investment lo all I classes, ..only- twenty-five percent, or one " quarter, of the purchase moiiey, will; be re-quired-in cash from'tho purchasers, tho bal- . anca being allowed to remain unpaid for 20 years, bearing interest at G per cout only. 1 Purchasers, will, however, be allowed to pay 1 off . the old : debt at any time during the ■ term, if they desiro to do so.' It will be obl served that nearly six months notice of'jfjk i Martin's intention has been given ,• of''cnabling'AvorkinK men ouiiiiitcd meaiflH i make arrangements in the meantime ! will allow ofjlieir investing in -a, section , when the tinieisjncs. The fact that ' is room for a is well known, and with an eye to niak)rig*-i3impl e provision for the future, the owner has Jftsmged ' have the present small township of Wanjisnga ■ extended to the WaihejigS bridge, and twej hundred acres will be <jut up into sections foil • this purpose, AVe: are'V i thousand acres of arable land exist up3fl4a| ' proporty. some fertile limestone hills and™ uulating country backing up the levelling A large survey party under Mr ColeridH ' C.E., has been got together, which will cSr meuco to work of plotting off the landjrext week, and instructions have beeifissucd to the gentlemad in charge to lay oil roads of a' chain (66 feet) in width thronghoiit the property, and in such apposition as to give each farm & frontage to a road. 1 Mr Martin informs' us .that there' ia ' four hundred of good totara bush upon the ' property, which will be disposed of with the remainder of the land, and will omply supply the wants of the email farm settlers for building purposes. No' less than 200 acres of plantations have bean nindo, which will be surveyed with the sections, and sold like the rest. Waihenga, is only about an hour's drive from the Featherston railway-station, and speaking from our personal, knowledge, we can strongly recommend those who wisL to invest, and desire to know -what sort of a property Mr Martin intends to offer for sale, to go and judge for themselves. It is a long timo since so large a block of good laud was thrown open to the public. It is accessible, well watered, and fertile, andwe hope that the public spirit and confidence in the public which the owners has'shown in placing it in the market may meet with the encouragement it deserves. Mr Martin admits that the rabbits ars numerous, but hopes to see them rapidly disappear beforo a thriving population as it is well known tliatwhere men are numerous rabbits soon grow scarce,
