Town and Suburban Lands at Cheviot for Sale by Auction.

Department of Lands and Survey,
Wellington, 26th November, 1894.

IT is hereby notified, in terms of "The Land Act, 1892,"
and "The Cheviot Estate Disposition Act, 1893," that
the under-mentioned allotments of town and suburban lands
will be offered for sale for cash at public auction, at the
District Land Office, Cheviot, at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, the
23rd day of January, 1895.

One-fifth of the purchase-money must be paid on the fall
of the hammer, and the balance, with Crown-grant fee, £1,
within thirty days thereafter; otherwise the part of the pur-
chase-money paid by way of deposit will be forfeited, and
the contract for the sale of the land be null and void.

SCHEDULE.

These sections are situated on the south side of and con-
tiguous to the Mackenzie Township, and comprise open grass
level land of light but fair quality. Owing to their splendid
central position, these sections have a special value, and are
eminently well adapted for business sites, such as factories,
sale- or timber-yards, and also for villa residences, gardens,
and paddocks.

In the event of any of the suburban lots not being disposed
of at auction, they will remain open for selection, in terms
of "The Land Act, 1892," at the upset prices specified.

JOHN McKENZIE,
Minister of Lands.
