CENTRAL MIRAMAR. IN THE VERY HEART OF THIS SPLENDID SUBURB OE MIRAMAR (Until lately known as the GOLF LINKS BLOCK), To be Sold by Public Auction by W. F. SHORTT, Ltd., At their Land Mart, WILLIS-STREET, WELLINGTON. On MONDAY EVENING, 30th SEPTEMBER, 1907, at 7.30 o'clock THE FINEST BUSINESS SITES AXD THE HANDIEST SECTIONS IN THE WHOLE EXTEXT OF MIRAMAR. A RARE OPPORTUNITY FOR GILTEDGED SPECS. fipHIS magnificent Central Miramar -«- Estate lies as lqvel as a billiardtable with a frontage along the entire length of its southern, and western tides to the Scatoun and Miramar tramways respectively The tramlines diverge east and north on reaching the Central Miramar Block, «o- that it lies sandwiched between them. As a consequence, no part of Central Miramar is moro than three minutes' walk from the electric trams. Xo finer opportunity for profitable investment has been offered tho public since Miramar first came into the marketCentral ,iliramar, from its position, is the natural centre of W e^ m P ton>s chief suburb. Here will be situated its shops and warehouses in the future and its leading public institutions. No other block within the wide extent of Miramar offers such advantages to 1 the investor. Its sections will always bo eagerly sought after, aud must rise rapidly iv value. Central Miramar, in short, is not only tho heart of Miramar, but is in closest touch with the City, with Seatoun, and with Miramar North. If you want an ideal sito for a residence, requiring no outlay whatever in excavation and with tho/ tramway to your very door, Central Miramar is the place for you. Central Mir,ainar has" the most fertile land in the district. Tho goil was care fully prepared and enrichpd by ths Messrs. Crawford Bros, 'for the.r agricultural operations. Every foot of it has been systematically tilled. If you want to bo bandy to tho seaside, get a section 'in Central Miramar. Close handy lies Lyell Bay, the Ocean Beach par excellence of the Empire City. Less than five minutes' ride in the tram will carry ynu through tho tunnel to the marine suburb of beatoun. Miramar is far and away tho moit rapidly progressive suburb of Welhngtqn. Within a few years it will carry a population of 25,000, and there is ample room for four times tho number. Miramar will have the , advantage of a first-class drainage system. The main sewer of tho Wellington City drainage works runs through it to the open sea in Cook Strait. Miramar is to have also the full advantage of the Wellington City water supply. Arrangements aro now being made to that end. Miramar already has the electric light, and is likewise to be the headquarters of tho Wellington Gas Company. This wealthy company has lately purchased fourteen acres of land near the Miramar Wharf, with the ultimate intention, of establishing there its works and getting its coal supplies brought direct to the suburb. Mo3t of the Gas Company's eniploj'ees will therefore havo their homes iv iliramar in the near future. Miramar is \raique in the fact that jt is the only Metropolitan suburb in New Zealand that ia linked up with tho city by both ferry and tram services. The people have tho choice of carriage by either steamer or tram, and competition will thus always ensure cheap rates. Miramar wharf is being enlarged to accommodate larger needs. The water is so deep that tlifc biggest ocean liners which come to the port of Wellington can berth alongsido at any state of tho tide. At no distant timo iis sea-borne goods will be delivered at its own wharf. Miramar is already the playground of tho Empire City. A Wonderland, outshining the one connected with the Christchurch Exhibition, is now being constructed at an outlay of £15,000. Tenders are being called for tho building of an amplo Skating Rink. The Park will afford playing room for all tho crickot, football, and hockey clubs in Wellington. Polo also has its home there. Miramar is far and away the most lightly rated and the healthiest suburb in the whole district. The rates are only lid in the £, as against 7£d in the £ in the Cily. It is confidently believed that with water and drainage provided for, there will be a reduction even on tho present abornmally low rates. The residents praise ite salubrity, and no epidemic has ever found lodgment there. Miramar, in short, is destined to rapidly grow into a self-contained city. And this Central Miramar Estate, now being offered to the public, must of necessity be the very heart of it, where its bugy marts, its lines of shops and warehouses, and its most important institutions will bo planted. Now is the time to make investments that will spell fortune for you. Don't mis 3 the opportunity to get in at bedrock value.
