SCHEDULE.

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

The portion of the Bell Block now under offer is situated to the south of the Woburn Railway-station, and lies between the new railway workshops and the Waiwetu River. Bell Road, which traverses the block, will shortly become the main thoroughfare between the Hutt Valley and the eastern bays. The bridge over the Waiwetu River is now in course of erection and when completed will provide direct access to the industrial area.

The block has been subdivided into residential sites, varying in area from 20 to 30 perches, with adequate frontages provided, and the prices fixed should be within the reach of everyone’s pocket.

The engineering works comprising street-construction, storm-water drainage, and sewerage are now completed and, with the addition of gas and electric lighting, provide all the amenities that can be desired.

A recreation-ground of approximately 4 acres and a school-site of 5 acres have been provided in this subdivision.

If the purchaser fails to make any of the prescribed payments by due date, whether of purchase-money or interest, the amount (if any) already paid shall be forfeited and the contract for the sale be null and void.

It shall not be lawful for any person to acquire more than two allotments of land, subject to the provisions of the Hutt Valley Lands Settlement Act, 1925, under the system of deferred payments providing for repayment of purchase-money in 34½ years, and where any person so acquires two allotments, such allotments shall be contiguous.

Except on the recommendation of the Land Board and with the approval of the Minister of Lands, it shall not be lawful for any lessee or licensee of land subject to the provisions of the Hutt Valley Lands Settlement Act, 1925, to transfer his interest in such land before the expiration of ten years from the date of the original disposal of the land under the aforesaid Act.

Title will be subject to section 85 of the Land for Settlements Act, 1925, and Part XIII of the Land Act, 1924.

The lands are described for the general information of intending bidders, who are recommended, nevertheless, to make a personal inspection, as the Department is not responsible for the accuracy of any description.
