BETTER TIMES
i FEELLTG IN AUCKLAND MORE SHOPS AVAILABLE (Special to the Herald.) AUCKLAND, this day. There is a pronounced feeling in business circles that better times have arrived. A prominent feature is tho increasing number of shops ill the main thoroughfare, as well as in the suburban centres. For years it has been claimed that rents are too high, particularly in Queen street, but additional people are prepared to pay these rates and almost every week sees a few more shops opened. In another few weeks there will come about in the vicinity of the Civic Square what is probably the largest addition that has ever been made at one time to the shopping facilities.
Another indication, of confidence in the immediate future is the fact that in one suburb where building has been decidedly slack lately a complete new street is being laid out for residential sites. Other owners declares that with more assured transport facilities a distinct impetus would be given at once to suburban building.
