TAMAKI HEIGHTS Great interest is being shown in this Garden Suburb, and the agents report that a great number of sections have been sold. Many people have, in fact, already erected their houses, and much of the estate is covered with these pretty bungalows. Shop sites have also been taken up readily, and it would seem that this new garden suburb has already become famous.
