WELLINGTON LAND DISTRICT.—LOWER HUTT BOROUGH.

These sections comprise the balance of the block to the

of this area has been sold, and many of the sections have
already been built upon. Within three or four minutes of
railway-station.

The soil is of a rich alluvial nature, and excellent for garden-

level of the ground, to improve drainage, has now reached an
advanced stage, and will be completed at an early date.
Sewerage, storm-water drainage, high-pressure water-supply,
gas, and electric lighting are already provided, so that pur-
chasers of sections can proceed with building operations
immediately.

NOTE.—The attention of intending purchasers is drawn to
easements for public purposes as shown on the plan. Intend-
ing 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.
