Lands in Wellington Land District for Sale by Public Auction:

District Lands and Survey Office,
Wellington, 21st September, 1926.

NOTICE is hereby given that the undermentioned lands will be offered for sale by public auction for cash or on deferred payments at the Oddfellows’ Hall, Petone, on Tuesday, 19th October, 1926, at 7.30 o’clock p.m., under the provisions of the Land for Settlements Act, 1925, and the Land Act, 1924.

SCHEDULE.
WELLINGTON LAND DISTRICT.—TOWN LAND.
Petone Borough.—Belmont Survey District.—Wilford Settlement.

Wilford Settlement is situated in the eastern part of the Borough of Petone, and is only two or three minutes’ walk from the new Cuba Street Railway-station, which will be about fifteen minutes’ journey from Wellington by rail.

The sections now offered are some of the best in the settlement, and are admirably suited for residential purposes. The soil is of a rich alluvial nature suitable for all classes of gardening. The streets now in the course of construction are being formed under the supervision of the Borough Engineer, and are being kept down to a depth of approximately 6 in. below the frontage of the sections to make ample provision for surface-water drainage.

In accordance with modern town-planning ideas, a grass berm is being laid down between the footpaths and the section frontages. This, when planted with trees or shrubs, will add considerably to the beauty of the streets.

A school-site of 5 acres has been provided in the settlement, and it is the intention of the Education Board to erect a school almost immediately.

Sale plans and full particulars may be obtained on application to this office.

Commissioner of Crown Lands.
