Properties for Sale Township of Kensington Near Goathurst Farm. The importance of securing a Freehoh Section in this delightful ly-situated Townshij can hardly be adequately understood, 01 appreciated by the great mass of casual obser vers, but it should be borne in mind that it ii situate within easy walking distance of the heart of the capital city of the colony, now containing very nearly 25,000 inhabitants, thus giving it at once a high value, which must daily increase as the population extends and becomes located in its vicinity. Its advantages over any COUNTRY TOWNSHIP, however good, are equally apparent. The near vicinity of POPULATION must necessarily give increased value to land of whatever nature. Its being within a short distance of Schools, Churches, Post and Telegraph Offices, the Shipping, &c., point to it as the happy home of the enterprising colonist and successful trader and mechanic. Its high elevation above the city must give it prominence above all other of the suburbs for extreme healthiness and salubrity, the delightful sea breezes, and its natural drainage to Cook Strait, being sufficient to guarantee that for a great number of years it must enjoy complete immunity from disease of all kinds, and be shortly regarded as the Sanatorium of the City. It is abundantly supplied with water both from running streams and endless springs to nearly the summit of the highest hills, while firewood is to be found on the ground and in the immediate vicinity. Its freedom from the heavy burden of TAXATION, which presses upon all classes resident in the city, should, with its many other points of excellence, be sufficient to warrant all parties in investing. There being no reserve price, and the TERMS being so extremely easy, places it within the scope of all classes of the community. As an indication of the great rise in the value of township laud all over the North Island, it is only necessary to refer for a moment to the Government advertisements, offering land in Poverty Bay, cut up into quarter-acre sections, at an upset price of £ls each, or £6O per acre, and this modest price is fixed for land with but a scant population near it, so what must be the value of land situated as Kensington is, almost a part of Wellington itself ? I leave the public to judge, and to answer on Wednesday, Ist May, at 11 o'clock, at my auction mart, Lambtonquay.
