THE CITY AIR PORT! £ "YTEW ZEALAND has ouly recently awakened to the fact that it is pro- 1 bably the most backward civilised country in the world regarding aviation, and it's only since the memorable flight of ' Squadron-Leader Kingsford Smith that ] we have to any extent bestirred ourselves to the great progress the other civilised countries have made in this respect. But now we have really awakened from our long aviation slumber, New Zealauders, as in everything else, will probably show the world that they can more than hold their " own in everything progressive, which is well evidenced by the rapid completion of our City Air Port. Many world-famous writers have recently stated that within 15 years as many people will be in the air as are at present riding in motor-cars, '. and with the advancement of science to the production of a practically fool-proof aeroplane ilyiug has become possiblly less ] dangerous.than motoring. A ease was recently reported where an armless wonian '. flew thousands of miles in America, youths ' from 15 years up to people of 65 and over are flying in different parts of the world, and the Countess of Bedford in her re-cord-breaking flight to India and back is well at home in an aeroplane at 65 years of age. With this great progress iu avia- i tion it gives one food for thought, and f as a good harbour has always been the | very life blood of, and has to a great j extent controlled the lay-out of a city, will r it have to take second place in that re- 1. speet to a flourishiug airport? I JWhcn the first pioueers sailed, into Port Nicholson, the Petone Beach attracted '. them as the best landing place, and so was founded the first settlement on the ' j shores of what was later to be known as ] I Wellington - Harbour, which the pioneers named Britannia, and although the beach had many «dvantagcs over the rest of ] the port it" lucked that most necessary j feature, shelter, and after experiencing a real southerly the pioneers wisely transferred their ships to tho shelter of Port . Jerningham, and naturally the settlement followed, and so was founded the City of Wellington. Had the harbour adjoining the Petone foreshore been euuowed with the required shelter Britannia would have been the real city on the shores of Port Nicholson, and that portion where Wellington City now stands may have been a-very small suburb. Will tho establishing o£ our City Air Port with its new mode of travel tend to swing. the city from its present location to Miramar, and if so will Broadway, Wei- . lington- finest thoroughfare with its extensive frontage to our City Airport, become in the future the real business centre of Wellington? It really makes one pause to think if such takes place and the city's real business centre shifts' to Broadway then land in that street may in a few , short years jump to the value of hundreds of pounds per foot. It may. appear rather "in the air," yet nevertheless had one told the average person 25 years ago that millions of people .would be carried through the air to-day, that we would be communicating through the air by telephone, that we would be actually sending pictures through the air, they would have thought it equally ridiculous. It is quite a natural corollary that land situated in Broadway or adjacent thereto must have great prospective value at present undreamt of. The wise investors should not hesitate and allow more enterprising persons to step in ahead of. them and reap the golden harvest. -. Messrs. James Stellin aud Company, of 113-115, Customhouse quay (directly oppo* site the Bank of New Zealand) still have for sale some ideal practically level building sites on Broadway, still available iu t their New Garden Suburb—Stratbmore < Park, "Bathed in Sunshine the Livelong -.
