WORKING MEN’S TRAINS have now commenced running to PETONE, enabling tradesmen to go to and from theic work, and henceforth reside on their own FREEHOLD ALLOTMENT at PETOiSE. City rates and taxes are avoided thereby, and working men’s families con ensure health and pure air in this locality. THE AUCTIONEER understands that the Government, in order to encourage settlement on the line of the Hutt Railway, are favorably considering a proposal to issue monthly railway tickets to working men, at very reduced rates from tho ordinary fares. This would give Wellington tradesmen, living at Petone, similar advantages to the residents at Dunedin, and which have caused the township of Ravensbourne, on the Port Chalmers Line, to become tho largest and most thriving suburb of Dunedin. SPECULATORS are strongly recommended to notice tho eligibility of these allotments as an investment. The Government workshops are now started in earnest, as will be apparent on inspection of the costly and extensive machinery now being fitted up on the railway reserve at the Petone station. Tho machinery is well worthy of a visit, and will afford a convincing proof that Mr. Ashcroft, tho enterprising Railway Mechanical Engineer, now superintending the Department, purposes to go on with important works, and find employment for a numerous body of workmen. PLANS OF THE SECTIONS are being prepared, and will be ready shortly, and in the meantime every information will bo given by tho Auctioneer ; and on the ground tho respective allotments will bo shown. The Guards also of the various Trains will direct visitors to the spot, on their stepping off the Railway Platform at Petone. SPECIAL NOTE.—The allotments now offered for sale comprise tho proper Township of Petone, and are tho best and most suitable building sites ever submitted for sale in this vicinity.
