WELLINGTON LAND DISTRICT.—LOWER HUTT BOROUGH.
Belmont Survey District.—Hutt Valley Settlement.

The block now being offered for sale comprises forty-four excellent building-sites, situated about midway between the two railway-stations on the new Hutt Valley Railway deviation, and is within three or four minutes walk of either. The land is flat, and of a rich alluvial nature, making this locality eminently suitable for residential purposes.

The areas of the sections vary from 27 perches to 32 perches, with frontages from 55 ft. upwards. The whole area has been planned in accordance with modern ideas on town-planning, and with the provision of sewerage, storm-water drainage, high-pressure-water supply, gas, and electric lighting will make this residential area one of the healthiest and most up to date in the Dominion.

NOTE.—The attention of intending purchasers is drawn to easements for public purposes as shown on the plan. Intending purchasers are also advised that a building-line restriction will operate in case of sections fronting streets of a less width than sixty-six feet.
