Tlie town of Trontimm is situated on tiro Wellington-Upper Hutt lino of railway, about eighteen iniUH from the City of Wellington. It is opposite the Wr.l--lacoville Railway Station, and extends from tho Station to the Main road, immediately opposite McGovern’s Hotel. It is absolutely loved, and each section can be built upon with the greatest case. For the past o’O years it has boon known as absentee land, it being the Estate of the Lady Lonlinck in England, but unti] 1903 it ha:l practically been treated as “a No-in,an’s Land,” the happy huntingground of any number of junipers, who grazed and farmed it at their own sweet will, A long protracted scries of legal proceedings have now vested the Estate* in th-o descendants of the original owners; honofi the present sale. The impossibility for half a century of obtaining a dear title to the property has naturally kept back settlement:. Situated as the property is. some half-way between Silver-stream and the Upper Unit, and with main -roads tapping the valleys on either side of the ranges, it was the natural centre for a thriving town. With no title it was, however, impossible to lay off and createj a town there. 'That drawback has now been swept away, and the new Town of Trentham has been Dorn. The town of Trentham will not only be rapidly settled, but year by year will see it igrow in importance and value. Already great brickmaking works have been established not far from it. The Government have acquired a large area of land for their Veterinary Department, and have built an extensive and up-to-date laboratory upon it. Other large buildings are to follow, and within three years it is expected that fully one thousand people will be residing in and about the town of Trentham. The town of ' Trentham is admirably adapted 'for residential purposes. A rich loamy soil, resting on a gravelly formation. secure perfect drainage and sanitation. There exists an abundant supply of magnificent artesian water of the purest character. The view from every part of tho Town is remarkably boairciful. The Mungaroa and Upper Hutt Ranges form an amphitheatre of hills circling tho valley through which jli© River Hutt rolls its way to the sea. The air is always clear and delightful, and as a health resort Trentham cannot well bo equalled in the colony. The tourist, fond of New Zealand's wealth of native bush, ferns and shrubs, will find in the neighbourhood of the Town of Trentham many days of delightful wandering, while the fisherman, in a walk of a quarter of an hour from. Trentham., can have liis choice of a dozen streams full of the finest trout. From the City of Wellington three-quarters of an hour by rail, an hour and a half by driving, half the time by motor car or bicycle. Splendidly level roads. Good hotel accommodation. W.hat iruoro is required to guarantee settlement and prosperity to tho new Town ? The railway authorities are now engaged in thinking out the question of speedier c/arnmiunicatiou, and arranging special trains for ih© benefit of workers. This in itself, when given practical effect to. will enormously enhance the value of all properties in Trentham. The Town of Trentham is the best of good things as an investment.
