TOWNSHIP OF GREENSTREET. 115 allotments 115 Messrs bullock & cO - have been instructed by Mr. Thomas Clarke, to offer for sale, by public auction, at their Rooms, East Street, Ashburton, on THURSDAY, 28th NOVEMBER, 1878, 115 ALLOTMENTS in the already formed Township of Green-street, being at the conjunction of the Main Road to Alford Forest, Wmch more, Westerfield, and Ashburton, being about seven miles from Ash burton, on the direct road to Al ford Forest. As the nucleus of a Township already exists, there is every inducement offered, not only from its contiguity to Ashburton, but also from its being the centre of a largo and important district to extend it 3 capabilities, and as the population of the surrounding districts increases, greater demands will arise for town allotments, purchasers cannot, therefore, do wrong in giving this their attention. The Terms will be most liberal, thereby enabling all classes to participate therein. A splendid stream of water running trough the township materially enhances s value, and adds to its beauty.
