THE Fl ' ZROY WEST PROPERTY

The demand for suburban property is evidently keener than ever if one can judge by the number 'of properties being placed on the niaiket ; ai.d what- better guide can be taken ? If there was not a demand no one would bother about seeing to the supply. Within the past few years a large number of properties outside the limited borough boundaries have been cut up into sections and placed on the market, and bare paddocks have consequently been replaced by smart an<i trim villas, surrounded by "flower, fruit, and kitchen gardens. New Plymouth in the cot far distant future will feel prouJ of her suburban surrouadings.

The latest property to be placed, on the market for residential purposes is Mr J. W. Foote's 31 J acres in the Fitzroy west district. The property, on which Mr Foote has resided for a long period of years, is level all over, if a gentle r se towards the sea beach, which is within a few huadred yards of the northern boundary, is excepted. The location of the property is all that can b 8 desired, being ia the centre of a thriving suburb, auu close to a splendid sea beach, besicKs being snugly sheltered frorr. all high winds, and yet commanding a fine view of the sea and the town. The property, on which stands Air Foote's tine villa residence, is divided into 159 sections, which will have exceptionally good frontages owing to the property presenting such easy and natural means of division. There will be four streets — Record, Newton, Richmond, and Sackville— running north and souih through and bounding the estate, while Bamball street will be the southern boundary.

The placing of this property on the market will enable people to acquire a home at a reasonable cost, besides settling down in a bealthy and thriving locality. Many people caunot afford to purchase high-priced borough sections, and hencd the need for cutting up suburban estates and placing them on the market for residential purposes. Those desirous of obtaining a section in the Fitzroy West property should not fail to inspect the estate, and once they do that they tvill no doubt be pleased with the locality, etc. Messrs Caliaghan & Co. are the agents for the property, aud they will supply the fullest information on application Their offices are opposite the Theatro Royal, Devon-street.
