A FUTURE SUBURS

THE HOMEBU6H ESTATE. “A FINE PROPERTY.” An official visit of inspection of tho new road to Khandallah and the Homebush estate was paid by the Mayor, Mr R. A. Wrigfit, the chairman of the works committee, Councillor T. Forsyth, tho acting-city engineer, Mr A. J Paterson, and Mr Brigham, of the engineer’s department, on Saturday. Mr Wright stated on his return that tho new road promised well indeed, for the grades were easy, and tho view , was magnificent. The road cannot bo thrown open for general traffic for a week or so, for though the construction work is completed a finishing touch has yet to be given here and there, and machinery has to bo removed from the roadside. No provision was made in the loan schedule, Mr Wright remarked, for water and drainage for the estates but those services would, of course, nave to be provided before the land was offered for sale. Provision would also be inndc for open air spaces, and probably for playing areas. In the Homebusii estate, said Mr Wright, the city had a wonderfully fine property.
