At their Lund Mart, WILLIS STREET, WELLINGTON, MONDAY EVENING, 30th SEPTEMBER, 1907. at 7.30 o’clock. THE FINEST BUSINESS SITES AND THE HANDIEST SECTIONS IN THE WHOLE EXTENT OF MIEAMAE. A EAEE OPPORTUNITY FOE GILTEDGED SPECS. mHIS magnificent Central Miramar JL Estate lies as level a.s a billiardtable. with a ii-outagu along the entire length of its southern and western sides .'to the Seatoun and Miramar tramways respectively. The tramlines diverge east and north on reaching the Central Miramar Block, so that it lies' sandwiched between them. As a consequence,, no part of Central Miramar is more than three minutes' walk from the elec,tric trams. No finer opportunity for profitable investment has been offered the public since Miramar first came into the market. Central Miramar, from its position, is the natural centre of Wellington's chief suburb. Here will be situated its shops and warehouses in the future and its leading public institutions. No \ other iblock within the wide extent of Mira|niai' offers such advantages to the investor. Its sections will always be eagerly sought after, and must rise rapidly in value. Central Miramar, in short, is not only the heart of Miramar, but is in closest touch with the City, with Seatoun, and with Miramar North. *lf you want an ideal site for a residence, requiring no outlay whatever in excavation and with the tramway to your very door. Central Miramar is the place for you. Central Miramar has the most fertile land in the district. The soil was carefully prepared and enriched by the Messrs Crawford Bros, for their agricultural operations. Every foot of it has been systematically tilled. If you want to be handy to the seaside, get a section in Central Miramar. Close handy lies Lyell Bay, the Ocean {Beach par excellence of the Empire City. Less than five minutes’ ride in the tram will carry you through the tunnel to the marine suburb of Seatoun. Miramar is far and away the most rapidly progressive suburb of Wellington. Within a few years it will" carry a population of 25,000. and there is ample room for four times the number. Miramar will have the advantage of a first-class drainage system. The main sewer of the Wellington City drainage works runs through it to the open sea m Cook Strait. Miramar is to have also the full advantage of the Wellington. City water supply. . Arrangements are now being made to that end. Miramar already has the electric light, and is likewise to be the headquarters of the Wellington Gas Company. This wealthy company has lately purchased fourteen acres or ' land near the Miramar Wharf, with the ultimate intention of establishing there its works and getting its coal supplies brought direct to the suburb. Most of the Go® Company’s employees. will, .therefore, have their homes' in Miramar in the near future.

Miramar is unique in the fact, that .it 15 the only Metropolitan suburb, in New Zealand that is linked up with the city by both ferry and tram services. The people have the choice of carriage by either steamer or tram, and 1 competition will thus always ensure cheap rates. ' Miramar wharf is being enlarged ,to accommodate larger needs. The water is so deep that the biggest ocean liners which come to the port of Wellington i can berth alongside at any state of the ] tide. At no distant time" its sea-borne j goods will be delivered at its own wharf.! Miramar is already , the playground of the Empire City. A Wonderland, out--shining the one connected with the Christchurch Exhibition, is now being constructed at an outlay of .£15,000. Tenders are being called for the building of an ample Skating Eink. The Park will afford playing room for’ all the cricket, football, and hockey clubs in Wellington. Polo: also has its home there. Miramar is far and away the most lightly rated and the healthiest suburb in the whole district. The rates are, only l:ld in the .£, as against 7-jd in the Jl. in the City. It is confidently believed that with water and drainage provided for,, there will be a reduction even on the present abnormally low rates. The residents praise its salubrity, . and no epidemic has, ever found lodgment there. Miramar, in short, is destined to rapidly grow into a self-contained city. And this Central Miramar Estate, now being offered' to the public, must of necessity bo the very heart of it, where its busy marts; its lines of shops and warehouses, and its most important Institutions will be planted. . Now is the time to. make investments that will spell fortune for you. Don't miss the opportunity to get in at bedrock value. PLEASE NOTE—That every sectiorris a quarter of an acre in area, and as the Borough Council has already decided to permit division into sections of an eighth of an acre as soon as the Drainage Poll has been carried, purchasers at this sale should shortly be able to subdivide if they so wish. Upon Sections 157 and 158 a handsome nine-roomed residence is, erected, which is at present let at £1 per week, subject to a monthly notice. On section 159 there is a substantial coachhouse, easily convertible into a cottage, but requir-, ing to be moved back from the roadline, upon which it now encroaches. This will have to be done at the .purchaser's expense. Mark the terms of sale, which have been fixed on an exceedingly liberal scale : . 10 per cent, on fall of the hammer, 5 per cent, in Three Months. 5 per cent, in Six Months. 10 per cent, in Twelve Months.
