Es 'Wellington over-building. This question is asked by not a few recent visitors to the Capital City, where a number of large and pretentious buildings are in course of erection, including half a dozen costing anything from -£157.990 to £250,000 a piece: Local people, however, are quite confident of the future, and consider that the present activity in building will be followed by even greater development. They point to the trade of the port and the increasing importance of the citv as a distributing and manufacturing centre. Recently several big manufactories have been established, mostly in Petono. and at least six English firms have bought land in the industrial area in Eastern Tlutt- for the purpose of establishing works of more or less impotance. Tn fact, such is the demand for land for the purpose in this locality that the Government has decided, on the Harbour Board building a wharf at Howard Point, near Lowry Bay. to reclaim several hundred acres.
