The auction of the leases of the Greytown Trust Lands sections was held at the Maxton Mart yesterday afternoon. Mr J. Kerslake, of Masterton, was the auctioneer. The sections without buildings on were on lease for 7 years and in most cases were knocked down to the present occupiers. The two sections that have buildings on them were also secured by the present tenants for a term of 21 years. For several sections no bid was received. This was probably due to the uncertainty of the small fruit markets. These sections, however, will be let privately. Golf Club. On Saturday a Stableford competition will be held commencing at 1.30 p.m. sharp.
