sixteen miles away, and is said to increase its 

 population by 20,000 every summer. 



DIVISION OF THE LAND. 



The land has been divided up into eighty plots 

 of from 3j to 6 acres ; by far the larger number 

 average 5 acres apiece. Advantage has been taken 

 of existing fences for boundary-lines ; and as the 

 cultivation is to be on market-gardening lines, 

 there is no need for the erection of fences, the land 

 being merely staked out. It has also only been 

 found necessary to make two short accommodation 

 roads. 



It is intended to put up a house on each plot, 

 and make each holding self-contained. 



The land is being cultivated and got into con- 

 dition for planting. Three-quarters of an acre on 

 each holding will be planted with mixed fruit-trees 

 and bushes, and J- acre with strawberries. Manures 

 and seeds will be provided to start with, also 

 sufficient capital to help the holders over the first 

 year. 



In calculating the price of a holding, all these 

 items will be included in capital expenditure along 

 with the cost of the land, buildings, road-making, 

 and other expenses of adaptation. 



CONDITIONS OF TENURE. 



For the first three years the holders will be 

 tenants at will. If at the end of that time they 

 have proved themselves capable ancj industrious.
