Have been favouied witb instructions to sell at their Eooms, Manners Street, as above THAT BLOCK OF LAND KNOWN AS THE CHINAMAN'S GARDENS, ISLAND BAY. The subdivision and sale of this block of land has been anxiously awaited for years by a very large number of people, who recognise that it is the FINEST BUILDING BLOCK TN THE ISLAND BAY DISTRICT. In the eaily days of the Bay, when the Chinamen commenced gardening operations there, practically the whole of the di&triet was at their disposal, but with their national shrewdness they decided on this block of land lying between Dover and Dee streets, and. fronting The Parade and Adelaide Boad. THE SEASONS ABE OBVIOUS. It is sheltered from prevailing winds. It basks in the rays of " Bright Phoebus " from the moment of his morning entry until his evening exitThough so snugly sheltered it is not buried by surrounding hills, for EVERY SECTION COMMANDS a view that is unrivalled in any part of Wellington or its Suburbs. From one and all of the 36 large sections a glorious view is obtained. In the near distance is the picturesque valley of Island Bay, with its smiling homesteads and verdant gardens, beyond. this is a belt of gleaming sand which marks the City's Glorious Asset— the children's playground —while in the further distance the blue waters of Cook's Strait, backed at last by the snowcapped heigets of the seaward Kaikoura, making a fitting setting for this panoramic picture. DON STREET is being formed in accordance with the by-laws of the Wellington City Council at the expense of the Vendors, and will be properly macadamised, with concrete side channels and kerbing, also footwalks asphalted to their full width. NO EXCAVATION is required on any of the sections, every section being almost level. TO THE SPECULATOR it offers special inducement, as the value of land at Island Bay has increased in value more rapidly than in any other suburb, sections having doubled their value within SIX MONTHS, and as Island Bay is the natural continuation of the City, the same thing must occur over and over again. IN FIFTEEN MINUTES the Electric Tram will take you from the General Post Office to this land. TO THE FAMILY MAN this land must commend itself, adjacent as it is to the City at ■ the end of penny section, and being bounded on two sides by the Town Belt, which the Council has decided to form into parks and gardens where the business man may enjoy the leisure hours amidst the pleasant and healthful surroundings free from the bustle and smok& of the city. SECTION 36 is of exceptional size, having a frontage of 150 ft. by a depth of 120 ft. together with a modern six-roomed villa erected thereon, replete with every modern convenience.
