Each section will be submitted as a lei-e, having 21 years to run from the Ist September. 1592, at an annual ground upset rental, which can be ascertained on application. Each lease will contain a covenant for renewal from time to time in perpetuity, at the option of the lessee, his representatives or assigns, for terms of It Years each, the new ground rent at the end of each term being ascertained by valuation, the whole of the improvements placed upon the land remaining the absolute property of the lessee. _ The propert*- is being let under the Public Kodies Powers Act," 15*7. The title is Land Transfer. This sale offers an unequalled opportunity to business men in the Citv of V\ elhngton or to those rut of its bounds desirous of becoming interested in business oursuits in the commercial and political Capital of the Colony. The large number of sections. their varied size and diversity of situation, gives a freedom of choice to every class of business altogether exceptional, and which in the very nature of things cannot again occur. In immediate prcximitT to a number of the sections will be found the General Post Office, the Queen's Wharf, leading Banks, Finance institutions, and Wholesale _Mercantile establishments, while the new extension of the main line of railway to Te Aro will prove of inestimable advantage to every business to be established on these sections. The upset Rentals have been at an extremely low- rate, the desire of the City authorities being to lease the whole of their lands to a large number of business people at easy Rentals, and thus create prosperous ttatepayers, rather than to lease a few sections at high prices, and allow the remainder to be idle. It is needles* «o expatiate upon the advantages of a Basinets Investment in such Lauds. A Perpetual Lease at a low rental, with the full benefit of the whole of the Improvements vesting in the Tenant, is for business purposes as a rule superior to any Freehold, and is decidedly so in this case. The rapid expansion of the city, its geographical position, its unequalled harbour, and facilities of communication with every' part of the North Island by rail and road, gives it a pre-eminence as a distributing and manufacturing centre, which is now universally admitted. It is impossible for the heads of business houses who rarely visit the bush settlements of the North Islaurt to realise the immense changes which are now taking place in that enormous tract of country, extending from Wellington to beyond the Mokau'River on the West Coast, and to beyond Gisbome on the East Coast, and lying between these two points. Tens of thousands of acres of bush are being felled every year and converted into grass lands, carrying their three and four sheep per acre. Hundreds of families are annually being settled on these lands; many townships have been and are still being termed ; businesses of various kinds established in each, and the -whole of the vast trade created by such settlemeat is centering in the City of Wellington, its merchants and commercial men receiving the full benefit of the trading profits arising from such a vast aggregation of new business. A moment's reflection will, therefore, show to every acute mind that' under these circumstances, investments in good business sites, such as these now about to be submitted, must prove of extreme advantage to those prepared to take advantage of the present opportunity. The sale plan, and the particulars and conditions of sale, ana the form of lease to be entered fcto, can be seen at the offices of J. E. PAGE, ESQ., Town Clerk, Brandon-street, Wellington, and the Auctioneers, No. 3, Panama-street, Wellington. Plans will also be on view at the Herald Office in a few days. THIS DAY.
