An important advance in the closer settlement of t"Ee district is to be taken shortly by the cutting up of the McDonald estate in the vicinity of Levin. This sub-div-ision will have the effect of throwing upon (the market some of the finest fattening and dairying land in a district already renowned for the richness of its pastures and its general fertility. In order to facilitate the development of the estate the Trustees have decided to make nearly five miles of road extending from Poroutawliaio to Hokio and this will give access to the holdings into which the estate wall be divided. Tenders close for this work on Wednesdays at noon- at the County office, and contractors will be shown over the route of the road on Monday morning, leaving the woolshed on the property at 10 a.m. Though the prevailing scarcity of labour makes it difficult to carry out works of this sort at present, the closing of the flaxmills will release a number of workers who might be inclined to take up a contract of this sort for the winter. The specifications are* at the County office where they may be seen by anyone interested.
