Auctioneers £tnd Land Agents AND CO.* REAL ESTATE AGENTS. Closer Settlement ■' has- come .at last. Hillersden Estate is- underr offer t« the- Government at. market value on easy, terms. Other estates are being subdivided, namely, Ugbrooke, part Leefielcf, part Dum- )( gree, and others. : Open the Harbor . at once, as it is recognised that Blen--5 heim has the beat bar harbor in> the ; Dominion. Make the-entrance-at the- ' Bluff, which is sheltered1, and' has-deep-water. Raise £62*509 and make Blenbeim a Port. 3 One-eighth, of a penny in the £1 ) will pay interest amounting to £2500' " per year, make Blenlieim a large- _ town, 'and save tlie district from 1 floods. I You are a Farmer ' and own 75 acres, valuedl at £3000. y Your rate, which you would never .. have to pay, would be 30s per year. '. Say you ship 200-tons of produce per year, if it goes to Wellington via railway your railage'is-paidl by the Union Company so as to compete- with the >. river boats; but ship to any other l, port, and' you have to/ pay railage c equal to 5s per ton, or £50' per year, jj or 12s per acre. Close the river and' c you will pay the same amount on | ;- produce to Wellington as M> other s ports. Remember, because of the Q river boats . going to Wellington you are railage free. * Two 100-ton Boats s on the river under present disadvant- > ages return the Harbor Board! £800 per year, and so four 200-ton boats J would yield £3200 per year, and pay all interest, etc. Thus the ratepayers who voted' for the loan would never pay. any rate, and the district would g benefit by thousands per year in ** freights, apart from flood relief. Coal Alone on which the public to-day pay the railway 5s per ton, or £2000 per year, *> would'pay the interest. Prociuoe SMpped ■ would pay it many times over; besides, the river competition, if it did not lower the freights, would keep - them from going up. ', Flood Relief. 9 There are 30 miles of banks from „ Blenheim and Ferry Bridge to the sea.' This 10-anr would straighten the river, and, deepened! 'of silt by a 8 dredge, let the water away quickly; besides, the banks would be strengthened, and th© Rrver Board saved the (j expense of repairing them, thus lowering their rates or spending their money above th# town. * Remember! «r ■ ,■'■-'■..•.•. ...■■.- ■ . .■■.'■■, f To-day ye.v have an obsolete train l, service and" communication with WelQ lington, high freights, and still y higher if the,river is not opened.
