A RECORD SALE

SEASIDE SECTIONS AT WAIKANAE' 103 RAPIDLY DISPOSED OF. (Special to “New Zealand Times.’’) The 6ale of seaside sections, held on behalf of Mr IV. H. Field, M.P., at Waikanae on Saturday, was no doubt the best sale of property ever held in this district, and it is evident that Waikanae will become large on the map as a seaside resort. For the past few weeks section-seekers have visited the locality, ulnle on the day of the sale scores of people went over the land, niany coming from as far afield as Rotorua. Dannevirke, and Lower Hutt. Prior to the commencement of the salo Mr F. W. Carey, manager for the New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Company, by whom the sections were offered, stated that there had been a delay in the completion of streets owing to illness, out that no time would ncnv be lost to have the various thoroughfares, completed. A fine water soi rice which, however, would be improved, had been put in, and two sections (171 and 172) reserved for the purpose- Lot 58 had also, been withdrawn from sale, as this .wae low-lying, and would be a splendid place for the dumping of soil. Timber was. available, while there was plenty of good river shingle for concrete work. Transport was also good 1 . A restriction, stated Mr Carey, bad been placed on the purchase of sections, and no one would bo allowed to purchase more than five, this step being deemed advisable to stop speculation, only legitimate settlers being desired. A golf courts© would be ready at an early date. Mr Carey added that Mr Field had received a tempting offer for the whole of the property, but having no desire to break faith with the public, had decided to offer the property by auction. The terms of sale, said Mr Carey, were vo rv generous, the prospects were bright; Waikanae promising to become a prosperous place, while fine reserves had been provided for. Mr H. 53. George, auctioneer, before offering the sections, endorsed many of the above remark®, and during the sale referred in a humorous way to the prospects of iWaikanae. BIDDING SPIRITED. Bidding throughout was very spirited, and Mr George is to be commended on the able way ho conducted the sale. Be was assisted largely by Mr T. O'Rourke, local agent for the firm. The average for the 105 sections was about £9B, while the total of the land Bold amounted to over £IO,OOO. At the conclusion of the sale Mr Field thanked all for their attendance, and later expres-.'d himself as very well satisfied with the sale. DETAILS OIF THE SALE.
