For floor space there is nothing like it in Welling- > ton. It is intended,that the building shall bo perfectly.appointed with a floor ' constructed in the latest and most approved manner.

Apart from tho particular use to which it is. intended to put the building, th« v land itself offers special'inducements, as owing to its position, it. is steadily ,m----crcas- in value and is a valuable asset. Its nearness to Parliament House and tho Government Buildings, as well as tho improvements agreed to be carried' out by the Government in Charlotte Street and Hill Street are all factors ensuring . a steady increase in the value of the land,.which should be worth £75 per foot in. ' a few years' time., . - . ■ .

The. land is being transferred at cost price, and thus, not requiring a penny in cash, the vendors give tho most conclusive Droot of their full confidence in the success of. the . Company. . Apart 'from this, most.ofilhe vendors are. taking up ordinary shares ns well. ..-■-.. .
