MANUREWA

Despite war conditions and the very high price of building materials this district is making steady and substantial progress. Just to show what can be accomplished by enterprise and energy, take the example of Mr T. Eleman, of Hills road. Here on a property of approximately 90 acres', within the last 12 months some five substantial bungalows have been added to this very fine part of our district Each bungalow is on from 6 to 10 acres and these homesteads have all been sold. Mr H. T Shepherd, of Auckland, is the builder Other residences in course of construction or just completed, are one each on the Valley and Massey roads, and on Hill road the large residence for Mr Geo Coxhead at a cost of over £2OOO.

Mr Ppgler, "the model suburb agent," reports for the August quarter Manurewa sales as follows : Mr Humphries, 21- acres and bungalow, Weymouth road; Mr Allen's Section °2 Station Estate, Massey road ;Mr T.

On behalf of the Puriri Park Syndicate, Manurewa, a further contract for Hill road has . been let to Mr Masters, of Papatoetoe.
