IN or about the month of APRIL, 1878, Allotments in the Town of Stratford, situate on the Mountain Road, at its intersection by the Patea River, and distant 29 miles from New Plymouth, 14 miles from Inglewood, and 17 miles from Hawera, will be offered for sale. The Town is situate on the line of the Waitara-Wanganui Railway, which is now open between Now Plymouth and Inglewood ; the earth works are completed, and the bridges in course of construction, between Inglewood and tire Mangamawhete River— i.e., to within 9 miles of Stratford —and the bush has been felled along the railway line, preparatory to carrying on the construction from Mangamawhete to Stratford, and a sum has been voted by the General Assembly for completing the railway to this point. The importance of the site selected for the Town will be best indicated by stating that at, or near, this point will be the junction of the Wellington, Auckland, and New Plymouth Railways. The site of the Town has been felled, and the sale is delayed till April in order that the bush may be burnt, and intending purchasers enabled both to inspect allot- j inents before bidding, and also to commence building immediately after the sale, should they desire to do so, which would be impossible if the land was sold with the bush still standing on it. By order of the Board, C. D. WHITCOMBE, Chief Commissioner. Waste Lands Board Office, Taranaki, December 5, 1877. 760-a-tc mn.*■ PATEA HARBOR WORKS AND RIVER IMPROVEMENTS. Notice to Contractors.
