A TOWN ABOUT TO BECOME A CITY. From the present indications, it is moro than probable that New Plymouth is about to start a forward movement. Tt will be called by many a property boom, but it will bo no more than what Taranaki is generally entitled to. It is only necessary to glanco at the oil prospects, tlie near approach of the new.harbor loan, and the iron and steel industry, to convinco local residents that Now Ply mouth will shortly become the fourth largest seaport town in the colony. The producing power of Taranaki is 2,460,000 acres of country. When in cultivation, this will always be a safeguard against depression The smaller towns must reap a benefit from the capital towns prosperity. That it would be bad policy for small i freeholders to soil their homes at the present time is for themselves to judge. Those owners that arc struggling to hold their homos will soon got relief without sacrifice. On the other hand thore arc many residents that have come into New Plymouth within the last fow year's. It is for them to consider if it would not be advisablo to acquire freehold while it is within their reach. Once New Plymouth's proporty gets beyond it, it will not come back, but rents will go up. At Callaghan's Land Agency today there are properties on the books. For instance, in i)evon street central, nearly opposite the Post Office, can be purchased for a few pounds per foot, what will soon be considered ehcap at .£IOO per foot. Nice homes on good terms for one half the price present and future owners will be asking. Building allotments can be secured with a little money, for future use, and suburban property which will grow in value.. There is poms; to bo no false boom ; property may take a rise, but it will continue. New Plymouth is now on a fair way of becoming a town of some importance. All it requires is unity between town and country, and Taranaki's future will be second to none in the colony. It may pay working men to endeavour to rise with it by acquiring a homo within their means, and I will endeavour to assist thcin to the best of my ability.—M, C. Callaohan, Estate Agent.—Advt.
