SCHEDULE.

WELLINGTON LAND DISTRICT.—SETTLEMENT LAND.

Petone Borough.—Block XIII, Belmont Survey District.—Heretaunga Settlement.

These sections lie between Jackson Street and the Esplanade, and are distant approximately 100 chains from the present Petone Railway-station with which connection can be made by a cheap and efficient bus service. The projected Hutt Valley Railway, however, will provide station facilities much nearer the property. Considerable settlement has taken place in the vicinity within the past two years, and there is every prospect of continued progress.

Most of the allotments are level and immediately available for building on.
