BUS REGULATIONS
The Melrose residents are certainly fortunato as the bus running to their suburb is municipally-owned, and there is little likelihood of the bus regulations affecting' their service; in fact, there is more probability of the present service being augmented with another bus as the building activities in this locality are Tery active, and the population is bounding ahead. The only thing that puzzles people visiting this part is why it has not been completely built on long ago, being probably the most beautiful locality so.near the centre of Wellington City, the road up past the scenic Newtown Park is an easy grade of very short distance over the low saddle to Hornsey road, and then opens out glorious, panoramic views of tho whole Hutt Valley, with the towering Rimutakas in the distance, and then on a circle many leagues out to sea, with Wellington Harbour and its numerous pretty bays in the middle distance and' in tho foreground one of the finest views of the symmetrical Lyall Bay Beach, with its lines of breakers following one another in, is a unique sight difficult to surpass. The climate of this part of Melrose is- probably the most sunny and sheltered portion of' Wellington, and its health can be vouched for by one of our foremost doctors establishing his homo on tho highest point, close to which is being built the Karitane Home, and, although many people may not care to build their homes so high up there are many delightful sites with as many advantages obtainable much lower down, for just at the bus terminus Messrs. James Stellin and Co., the progressive subdivisional experts, of 113-115, Customhouse quay (directly opposite- the Bank of New Zealand), Wellington, have recently opened Up their Sunglow Park Estate, having frontages to Hornsey and Sutherland roads and Carltqn street. Considorablo improvements have been carried out on this delightful estate, and it has been subdivided into very large sections, with extensive frontages, and is soiling rapidly, as the prices have been kept extremely low, and the exceptionally easy terms of £20 deposit and Cd a day peiv £100 of purchase money pays principal for five years, interest at 6 per cent, on unpaid purchaso. money, brings them within the reach of all. Preparations are already being made for the erection of numerous houses on this charming "estate. People desiring a choice home site for a home or an investment should see these magnificent sections, and have merely to ring telephono 42-969 and appoint a time, and they will bo motored direct to tho estate without any obligation whatever on their" part,— (Published by arrangement.)
