LIVE UP WHERE THE SUN SHINES.

HEW HILLSIDE SUBURB. It is a long while since the Christchurch public had the opportunity of securing hillside sections close to the car at auction prices. Wo understand that a-n opportunity is to be afforded our readers at an early date of getting in on the ground floor on a very promising subdivision at St Martin’s, which is to be sold by auction by Messrs Jones. M’Crosbie and Co., Ltd., in conjunction with Ronald S. Badger, .on December 19th. This block adjoins the tramline at St Martins and, being within, the threepenny car section, thus offers a unique advantage, besides which such'city conveniences as electric light and highpressure water will also be available. A new and. well-graded road, which affords an easier grade oven than Hackthorne Road, is now in course of construction, and should be finished about the end of the year. A unique feature lies in the fact that the vendors arc providing a recreation ground, which it is proposed shall be laid down as tennis and croquet courts, for the benefit of purchasers iq the Estate. The terms of sale are easy, and as this is the last easy-graded hillside spur near the city and adjacent to the. cars, the sections will undoubtedly bo m great demand, especially in view of the drift of our population towards the Hills, as it is becoming widely recognised that the foggy flats hare many disadvantages as against a hillside dwelling,.with its abounding sunshine and almost total absence of fog and frost. v Our readers will therefore be well advised; to make a point of being at this sale ,in order that they may then live up where the sun shines. Plans, which will be available shortly, will be obtainable either from the Auctioneers or Ronald S. Badger, T. 87, Manchester Street. • " l
