[Momahaki]
Five miles further northwards from Waitotara, by a steady ascent, the flag station of the above name, at an altitude of 268 feet above sea-level, is reached. It is in the Waverley Riding of the County of Patea, and in the Electorate of Patea, the district containing a population of 108, independent of thirty persons who live at the Momahaki village settlement. Momahaki, which is thirty-one miles from Wanganui, has a local post-office, where mails are received and despatched twice per week. It is the outlet of an extensive farming district, the educational requirements of which are provided for by a public school controlled by a local committee.
