The Harbor Board Block

TnE following extract from the Wan ganui Herald will not ouly be of interest to those setclers on the Endowraeut block who have already made homes there, but to the hundreds of persons who are now on the look out for land on this the tnoßt favored spot in New Zealaud. We vouch for the strict accuracy of every word of the statement : —The Harbor Board, hava ing removed all difficulties standing in the way of the sale of the Harbor endowment, a block of about 5000 aoree of land will be placed in the market without further delay. This land has been made accessible by roads on which". lb.e JBo^rd -has. ex* 'ponded 'ujpwaVdb qf ■£ lt)00, and is said to be 'of superior 7 'quality, suitable for small ; farms. Souio of the sections are covered with very fine timber, aud are likely to be competed for by aawmillers. The Board has ultogethei about 14,000 acres fur sale, having disposad of 10,000 acres auiue years

ago. The land now about to be disposed of is said to be the choicest portion of the whole endowment. I*,s disposal and settlement will provo of great benefit to the Manawatu district, and especially to Feildiug, destined in the near future to bp one of the most flourishing inland towns in the colony. Attention has already been attracted to the forthcoming sale on account of the fayovable conditions of the land for settloment and its accessibility to a market, and it is the intention of the Board to advertise it in the principal centres of the other island, as well as in Wellington and the West Coast of this island. It will be disposed of for cash and ou deferred payment. The sale will take place in Wang nui in about a month's time. A telegram from Wellington informs us that Mr Bal lance's mission to Wellington respect ing the remission of thirds in the Harbor Board Endowment Block has been successful, and there is every prospect of the land being in the market immediately.
