BUS REGULATIONS
The Melrose residents are certainly, fortunate, 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 inoro probability of the present service being augmented with another bus as the building activities in this locality are very 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 lowsaddle to Hornsey road, and then opens Out glorious, panoramic views of - the 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 the 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 home on the highest point,, close to which is being built the . Karitanc 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 Stollin 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 Carlton street. Considerable improvements have been carried out on this delightful, estate, and it has been subdivided into very largo sections, witli extensive frontages, and is selling rapidly, as the prices' have been kept extremely low, and the exceptionally easy terms of £20 deposit and 6d a* day per £100 of purchase'money pays principal for five years, interest at 6 per cent, on unpaid purchase money, brings them within the reach of all. Preparations are already being made for tho 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 telephone 43-969 and appoint a time, and they will be motored direct to the estate without any obligation whatever on their part.—(Published by arrangement.)
