Auctions THIS DAY. MONDAY, 9th OCTOBER., PUBLIC SALE OF LAND AT THE HUTT. , IMPORTANT NOTICE. To Gentlemen engaged in Mercantile Pursuits, Tradesmen, Mechanics, and Others, in want OF CHOICE BUILDING SITES In one of the most healthy Suburbs of Wellington, within four minutes’ walk of the Bower Hutt Railway Station and Valentine’s Hotel. Messrs, bethune & hunter have the pleasure to announce that they have been instructed to sell by public auction at their Rooms, Customhouse-quay, on Monday, 9th October, at 2 o’clock, the Township of ALICETOWN, consisting of about 195 of the choicest and most convenient building allotments that have ever before been offered to the Public of Wellington. The terms upon which the Sections will be sold are most liberal, as the proprietors have determined to sell without reserve. Intending purchasers are therefore recommended not to lose an opportunity of securing desirable and healthy building sites, free from all City Rates and Taxes. The Auctioneers feel it unnecessary to remind the public of the rapidly increasing value of Building Allotments near the Railway station at the Lower Hutt, where the Government workshops are in course of erection and fast approaching completion, where some hundreds of mechanics will be employed.' It must therefore be evident that as an investment the property to be offered is well worthy of attention. It is understood that the Government intend to put on early and late trains as settlement at the Hutt increases, which must tend to more than double and treble the values of such sites. The land situated in the township is held under the Land Transfer Act, and the terms upon which it will be sold are —one-third of the purchase money in cash, the balance by bills in three equal sums drawn at 6, 12, and 18 months respectively, bearing interest at seven per cent, per annum, with the right reserved for any purchasers desiring to complete their title to retire bills under full rebate at any time during their currency. The sale plan is now on view at the auctioneer’s office, where it can be inspected. Lithographic plans can also be procured, and any further information regarding the township obtained. Mr. N. Valentine, of the Lower Hutt, will furnish plans and particulars to any visitors on any day before the sale ; and there can be little doubt that Alicetown will before long become one of the fashionable suburbs near Wellington, as Richmond is to London and St. Kilda to Melbourne.
