Important Land Sale

Mr J. H. Baker, Commissioner of Crown Lands, held a very important sale of lands situated in the Pohangina Township, at the Assembly Rooms, Feilding, yesterday afternoon. The attendance was yery large, buyers being present from long distances, and great interest was manifested in the proceedings. Biddings were very spirited, and competition for nearly every lot submitted was most keen. Every one of the suburban sections offered was sold at an average of LI per acre in advance of the upset figure, and town sections L 4 10s. In Block VII a £>acre section, on which the reserve was £13, fetched £67, or at the rate of £268 an acre. The purchaser evidently has a very exalted idea of the value of property in the Pohangina Township. The total amount of the sale was £2,551, or about £883 7s over the reserve. Some LB2O was paid to the Receiver of Land Revenue for land bought— some purchasers paid a fifth of the price of the land, and some paid in full. Appended are the names of the buyers, and prices realized for various lots: — Block IV., section 1, L 9 10s, H. T. Field; No 7, L 7 10s, A. J. Spence; No 10, Ll4 10s, J. Thompson ; Noll, J.
