Haur.aki Plains will become, ff the present apathy in regard to the menace continues, it is interesting to note that tiie Orongo estate was the Crown at £32.10s an acre, and -ibe Government valuation when .the soldier settlers took possession was £5B an acre for the . situated sections down to £4O for those less favourably situated.
