FIVE TO SEVEN YEARS' GROWTH—WHAT THE JERVOIS ESTATE COST THE PUBLIC. The Jervois Estate comprises 39½ acres, at Ponsonby, Auckland, and was developed partly in 1903 and sold virtually within the last five years. The increase in the land values yielded the owners after they paid for the land and roads. The allotments average 40 x 112, and now the Auckland city ratepayers will have to provide £1703 to purchase land for necessary road connections and make same. The photos, illustrate the general type and design of the houses facing streets over 600 yards long with no garden plots or squares provided to break the monotony of the roadway. The Jervois Estate is no more than a characteristic example of private land development in New Zealand cities.
