IN THE TOWN HALL, SHANNON. On THURSDAY, 23rd OCTOBER, 1902, At 3 o’clock p.m. Macdonald, wilson and co. tire favoured with instructions from Mr J. R. Stansell to sell by public auction as above— TWENTY-ONE OF THE FINEST BUILDING SECTIONS IN THE TOWN OF SHANNON, being the subdivision of Suburban Sections Nos. 611, 612, 613, 614, 615, and GIG on the plan of the town. Each of these sections has an average frontage to the principal streets of Shannon of 50!t by a depth of 230 ft, and contain practically nn area of over one quarter of an acre each. The sections are situated close to the Shannon railway station and opposite the State school, and from their central position they cannot be surpassed as residents! and business sites. The town of Shannon has lorg been known as one of the sound-at and moat prosperous of the admirable settlements ab ng the line of the Wellington andManawatu Company’s Railway. Shannon is, however, only in its infancy. The progressive developments which are now about to lake place will give it a commanding position and assist in making it the county town of the district. The recent purchase of the Makerua Swamp—an area of 13,000 acres— by a i wealthy syndicate and the large capital the synd oato company is about to expend in systematic drfining and fitting the land (or close settlement will in itself revolutionise the conditions of trade in Shannon. In addition to this important factor ibree new flairaiils and a i ew sawmill are about to be erected. Those mills will expend fully £2OOO per month in wages. A branch bank is to be established forthwith and several new businesses created, all adding wealth and importance to the town of Shannon, and making it, for business purposes, one of the best towns on the West Co .at of the North Island. A vast improvement is about to be offected'in connection with the roads of the district leading to and from the town of Shannon. A. bridge is about te be erected at the Shannon Ferry—an immense boon to the Foxlon residents. The Otarna stream is to be bridged at .once, thus j ining Nathan-terrace with the main road to the. Makerua Synd cate’s land. These changes alone wi I, within twelve mouths, I increase the passenger traffic fu ly one hundred per cent. The diversion of the flood wafers of the river Manawa.tu is now the subj ct of sarion- discussion amongst the reaid- nts of the town of Shannon. Financial arangemeats of an intensive charioter wil prebab y be made so as to enab e from 100,000 to 150,000 acres of the low-lying land botween Kercru and Longburn to bo Thoroughly drained. Tho vast importance of thO grea : work, which may well be regarded as national work, to the town and district of Shannon has only to be mentioned to be nnd- by those beat acquainted with, lire Manawatu dis'rict. As a small investment the purchase of one or more of these twenty one valuable building sections will prove of the most satisfactory character. The sections will grow in value every year and prove a capital nest-egg.
