MASTERTON TRUST ELECTION
THE SMALL FARM AREA (To the Editor) Sir.—l have been asked several times who is eligible to vote for the Trust Lands Trustees as considerable doubt exists as to what is the Small Farm Area. The area is difficult to define, but every resident of the Masterton Borough is entitled to vote, and in addition residents living on the Upper Plain Road as far as Evans' Road (near the Fernridge School), the southern end of Kibblewhite Road, and the northern side of West Bush Road, the Opaki Road to Mr Burgess’s house and residents on the Te Ore Ore Road on. the town side of the Ruamahanga Bridge. The reason it is called the Small Farm Area is that in 1854, Masterton was cut up into 121 town acres, and 103 small farms of approximately 40 acres each. —Yours, etc., H. H. DANIELL.
