The Old Order Passes

The Old Order Passes.

The death, in 1929, of the generous - hearted chief was a great grief to the countryside, and it wrought many changes at Maraekakaho. The one great station now provides farmsteads for numerous families, and small stock-fattening farms and dairy farms have replaced the one-management station. The key to this process is found in the very heavy death duties.

So the old order gives place to the new, and Maraekakaho township is today, in its way, a more cosmopolitan place than the old, with its clan-like character.
