Truly it can be said that " Matamata. is not on the map." It will be 20 years on June 2 next since the Matamata estate was thrown open for selection. The area was 39,525 acres .", roods 12 perches on l.i.p. and 2956 acres as a small grazing run. A few years ago the settlers were given the option of ac(juiring the freehold. Many settlers took advantage of the privilege, so that there are very few now who hold their land on the original tenure. A number refused to be tempted to sell at tho time of the land boom, and these are th? settlers who are now in the most favourable circumstances, that their land cost from £2 10s to £i> per acre.
