UNRIVALLED OPP OR TUN IT V OF AOQUI ING FR Xl HO LDS IN Thß REAKT OF AUCKLAND. GEO. W. BINNEY, FAVORED with instructions from Captain Henry Burton, will sell by auction, on the ground, on Wednesday, the 13th October, at 12 o'clock, the following splendid properties:— Hobson akd Cook-streets : 13 Building Allotments. Very Superior 12-roomed Dwelling - house, Coach-house, Stable, &c, and Section on which same are situate. Nelson-street : 7 Building Allotments'. This, is a chance rarely to bo met with for persons to acquire Freeholds in the City, so close to the main centres o.f population, with all the advantages of the suburbs. Among others ■which thispropery posssessey are the following: — The construction of the Graving Dock on the re claimed ground at the foot of Hobson-s'rect; the con tinuation of Custom-house-street to Nelsen and Hob son-str^ets, the whole to be properly graded. The Harbour Board reclamation in Freeman's Bay —all being now undertaken, and in course of comple tion,—alike point to Ihe certainty of an increase in value of the pro] crties immediately in the neighbour hood of tliese improvements. While the outlay of capital on other works for the benefit of the Port of Auckland must r« suit in making Hobson-slreet (from its superior elevation and improved gradients) the principal outlet for the immense, traffic to be created and sustained by really rej reductive works such an the above have in other places proved themselves to be. The property must in a few years, from its superior natural advantages, rival, if not excel, in value that of Queen-street, and the lucky possessor will then obtain annually a sum equivalent to the fee simple of to-day; and not least, the very lib'ral terms offered by the vendor enable the energetic pushing man of business, with limited capital, successfully to compete with others of larger means. ,* To sum up, as an investment this offers all Ihe prize, jfc With none of the rinks ox mining speculation. The Block is sub-divided, fo as to givo section holders the f.dvontage o« a double frontage wherever possible.
