Many residents remember a few years ago sections in Hine-st. were looking for buyers at £ls a section. Arc there any sellers at £2;" jo a section to-day ?

It to estimated that the tir/.t direct steamer would cause an increase in value of Tnranuki property o." £500,000. Person, ally wo should say now is the time to acquire freehold, if only on- a small scale. Callaghan and Co. can oiler opportunities of securing homes with small deposit, -and in situations that the capitalist? will want shortly. Again, in 1908, what will be the value of sections in the Veule Estate at tho expiration of the harbour loon. #
