Tho realisation of the Exhibition buildings and other property is turning out remarkably welL Mr Munro told a reporter to-day that, whereas the estate was at 6ne time expected to realise £15,000, it was now pretty certain that the figure, when all was sold, would be at least £30*000. , | It will probably be six months from now before all the ground is entirely cleared of the various erections, the fencing, and all the debris of the Exhibition. The remaining pieces of the marble statuary, by Mr Summers of Melbourne, have been sold to the Tourist Department for £2000. The price paid by the Exhibition was about £2600, and one of the pieces has since been sold for £80.
