SURREY HILLS ESTATE.
Thk plan of Surrey Hills estate, a portion of which is to be offered for sale by Messrs Tonka & Co. on Wedneiday, October 3rd has been issued. It would appear from tho area of the sections that the surveyor's instruction has been to lay off the whole estate, as nearly as the ground would permit, into allotments about 33 feet by 1U feet, with frontage to one of the main streets, and a right-of-way for back entrance. This rule has been closely followed, the whole block being cut into allotments of nearly uniform size. A goodly number of Auckland's pioneer colonists will have their names transmitted to posterity in the street nomenclature. The main road j g Williamson Avenue, running the full length of the estate, parallel "with it are Campbell Road, Firth Road, Murdooh Road. Parallel with Ponsonby Road are • Pollen-street and McKelvie-street. The poets find representatives in Tennyson and Coleridge-streets; Politicians in Beaconsfield, Northcote, and Harcourt-streets; the Bench and bar in Cockbum and Jessel Road ; artists in Millars and Leightonstreets. The allotments to be offered on the 3rd proi. comprise sections on the Ponsonby Road, Great North Road, and Richmond Road.
