' ■* ' ■ Town of Manewatu;^ , THE PROPRIETORS of the ■ three first 'v. choices tat the last selection of country land£, having, upon*, the site for a TOWN ON THE MANEWATU J^IVEIi, after several visits to the neighbourhood, and the most ''careful ''and minute ' examination of the otffire' district, aided by the professional skill, knowledge, and experience of the most competent judges, propose to 1 offer for disposal, at •, "" toe pre^enf time, about -,t, t TSENTYrFJVE iCRES, ' IN ALLOTMENTS; EACJT O"F ONE QUARTER OF : r.'-r- AN ACRE. The 1 spot thus selected possesses the most extensive frontage to deep water of any on the river. It is situated iust at "that point fjx>)n which a road woujd branch off to the WOODED ANT) FERTILE DISTMCTS AtONO THE BASE* OF THE HILLS, and above which the navigation for vessels becomes tedious,'ifnot difficult Tt is therefore the point whorp the LAND AND WATER CARRIAGE MEET, and where a Town must be formed when the' district is settled. It was selected by the Surveying Staff as the rendezvous for their body ; and has been now found, after several months' location, to be the most advantageous position, from its peculiar facility of approach both by land and water. In confirmation of the superiority of this spot over any other yet known, the Messrs. Kebbell, after the examination of the river from the Paneiri Pah to its mouth, determined on erecting their SAW MILL IMMEDIATELY OPPOSITE. The works of that establishment are -at this moment in rapid progress, and the proposed Town will necessarily partake of this advantage. The nucleus of a "Town is, in fact, already created, by the concentration of the Surveying Staff on that spot, as the centre of communication to the surrounding district; the erection of Messrs. Kebbell's Saw- Mills opposite ; by the ' arrangements for an extensive General Store ; and by the late application for a Licensed House on the part of an individual who has, since the formation of the Colony, pursued a lucrative trade with the natives, and whose knowledge of the advantages of the position, prompted him at once to prefer that application. The Natives by whom this land was claimed are quite prepared to give up possession, and are exceedingly anxious to have a European population among them, having been upon the most friendly footing with the Surveying Staff during the four or five months they have been located there. As the Proprietors purpose to dispose of but a limited portion of the Town at present, they pledge themselves that, at no future sales, shall the allotments be put up at a /ess sum than now offered. A Prospectus and Plan of the Town will shortly be ready for inspection at the Offices of Messrs. Waitt and Tyser, Te Aro. Wellington, April 22, 1842. Country Sections for Sale on liiberal Terms.
