The Onq Hundred and Forty-three Building Sections to be offered at this sale are, in many rnspects, *6uperior to tho subdivisions wo havo submitted for many years past. A large number of thorn front Cubastreet, tho main highway between, Potoue and the Rutt, and the future chief business thoroughfare of tho two suburbs. Tho sections aro absolutely flat, no expenso being required for filling-in or excavation prior to building. ' Being situated between tho Towns of Petone and the Hutt, they will form tho nucleus of a new Business Centro of immense importance to tho largo number of residents who havo already located themselves in and about Alicotown, and immediately opposilo tho property. On each of tho sections a splendid flow of artesian water can bo obtained, and on several of the sections pipes hay« been' put down and tho water is now flowing.

Both tho Hutt Borough Council and tho Petone Borough Council's Engineers aro also proparing tho plans of a Echomo for diverting and carrying off all surface water from the hills. Arrangements are being made for a splendid sprvico of now Mofor Car 'Busses between tho Railway Stations of Potono and tho Hutt. Theso Motor Car 'Bt:»sos aro said to be far superior in comfort and couvonienco to tho Electric Cars, as they can go anywhere and stop anywhere, and the cost of carriage is far below that of '.he Electric Tram Car Seniccß. The rapid doveloprnont of tho Town of Potone, and of the lands immediately surrounding it, is ono of "the wonderful surprises to thoso unacquainted with the forces that aro. daily ai work compelling it to forgo ahead. T!io straightening ol tho railway lino between Wellington and lotono, now rapidly proceeding, will ieduca tho limo occupied in tho journey to eleven minutes, and be no mean factor in adding to Potouo's present attractions either for business, residence, or tho investment of capital. The Town of Potono stands absolutely unique m the hislory of tho colony in this respeot. For tho past twenty years every man who has invested £100 in tho purchase of its lands has increased hib original capital many times'. As an example of now quickly money is mado in Petone, we may instance this recent fact. In the month of August, 1903, wo sold a small block of land not far from the Show Grounds for £3050. Last month we re-sold &9«i r W*'c£ profit t0 the bu y ers of £5218 within fifteen months. ■No ono having a few -pounds to spare should hesitato at tlm stage in investing m these lands. Within a very brief period every half-acre between tho Towns of Petono and tho Hutt will bo covered with manufactories and residences, and its value will have increased tenfold. Thero may be doubts as to the stability and permanency of improvement in certain parts of tho colony. There aro none as to the advantages and future of all that pertains to Potone and its surroundings.
