Prospectus. rriHE ST. HELIERS BAY LAN! BUILDING AND STEAM FERRY COMPANY. To bo Limited and Incorporated under th Joint Stock Companies Aot. Capital, £50.000, In 10,000 Shares of £. Eaol Payable as follows :—£l on Application; £1 on Allotment. Tho balance at discretion of Directors. Directors: To bo Appointed at First Annual Mooting, Solicitors: , Wm. Coleman, Esq., and Messrs —-—— Bankers: Union Bank of Australia. Brokers^ The Auokland Brokers' Association, and T. W, Hiokson, Manager G.N.L. Agenoy. The object of the Company will be to take up the projeot (towards which a largo amount oi Capital is already subscribed) of opening up foi Building Purposes the three Properties at pre sent in the hands of the Auokland Stud Com (any, Messrs Gilford and Evans (the Aldernej cattle-breeders), and Messrs Gollan. The com bined estates comprise sections 22, 23,21,25, and •26, Parish Waitemata, and contain about 6K Acres of Flrßt-olasß Land, having an extensive frontage to the eea at the entrance of the har bour, and to publio roads in the vicinity ol St. John's ColloKO. It Is admittedly ono ol the most attractive vlaces to be found in suoh close proximity to any city in the colonies the size of Auokland; and It may be remarked en passant that scores of visitors to the far-famed stud Company's stables have expressed their surprise that a spot bo admirably suited for the for mation of a seaside suburb should not be built upon from water's edge to hill top, and have said that so close to any other city the size of Auckland It would be eagerly sought after at prices whloh to Aucklanders would seem fabu lous. Want of co-operation amongst the several pro prietors has prevented Its being opened up oarller. The best way to overcome this diffi culty is by the formation of a joint Btock company to take over the threo properties surrounding the Bay at a fair valuation, which has been fixed at £70 an acre, including valuable improvements. To build a pier (estimated Co3t £900) at which steamers may lie wilh perfect safety at all times of tide and in any weather. To purchase or charter a steamer to run regu larly at intervals of aa hour or oftener. dur ing tbe day. To lay off and form roads through tho property and to cut up Into sections, and to build, or to assist suitable tenants to build superior residences, and otherwiso improve the property. Tho locality when thus opened up and brought within twenty-five minutes'journey of the city, poßsosaing as it does so many natural attractions, cannot fall to become the favourite of Auck land's many beautiful suburbs. Tho pries to be paid may at first glance seem a high ono, but when it is considered that land in tho neighbourhood of Ponsonby. Newton.lMt. Eden, EpEOm, Komuora, and Brighton,has been sold at from £200 to £500 an aore, and that St. Hellers Ray wilt offer attractions superior to any of them, it will be manifest to anyone that not only does the price to be paid leavo a good mar gin for profit, but room for the realization of handsome fortnuea by persons Investing largely In the Company 'a shares. It may be said that the distance from town will be against the place, but this is a fallacy. It will take no longer to reach it by a good Bteamer than it does any of the above-named suburbs by'bu". The distance from wharf to wharf is only 1} miles, tbe course being perfectly smooth in nearly all weathers. The trip on the water need not occupy more than 20 to 30 minutes, and will always be a pleasant one. It will only bs necAsaary for the company to pat on a good steamer, charge Id single fare, 6d return, and 2s weekly ticket, to bring it within the means of every one, and make the place tho cheapest and pleasantest to live In of all the Auokland suburbs. Hero, again, it will be said that to put on suoh a' steamer before the piece becomes well popu lated will involve a heavy outlay, and the returns will be next to nothing for some months. But this does not necessarily follow. It Is anticipated that, until the placo beoomoa settled, the boat will ba fully oconpied in carrying timbor and workmen to and from the place, while during tho summer afternoons, many people will avail themselves of the choan trips to the beautiful beaoh, the cool woodlands and breezy grass-covered slopes of St. Hellers, and that thus the traffic, if not quite sufficient to' pay working expenses, will, at any rate, go a great way towards doing so: while, at the sumo time, the main object in view will be accomplished, namely, to bring the place within easy reach of town, and thereby largely increase its valne for building purposes. It will be a matter for the consideration of the directors also whether it will not be worth while to put on a first-rate four-horse coaoh, or perhaps two, so that residents may have the option of travelling either by road or water.. The distance is the same as to Onehunga, and may be done easily inf rom 30 to 40 minutes with a good team. St. Ileliera will have this great advantage over its North Shore rival at all times that residents who may be inclined to keep a horso or trap can always get to town by that means in a short.time, if they prefer it to going by water; while over all its land side rivals It trill at the same time have the advantage of easy and cheap communication by water. Tbe climate cf the place is remarkably pleasant and equable, owing to Its being sheltered in the winter from the bleak south-westerly gales, and Fanned in the summer by the cool sea-breezes. The scenery is beautiful beyond description, and the view, of the entrance to the harbour is one especially bright and lively on a summer after noon, when the sea Is dotted over with failing craft of every size and bnild. To persons fond of boating or sea bathing, the Bay will be especially attraotivo, aa in it small craft may ba scoured In safety In all weathers; and the bot tom being firm and sandy, and sloping gently from high to low water mark, a more suitable nlaos for bathing purposes could hardly be found. From the rocks at the eastern side of the Bay, fish may be caught in any quantity. Around the beach there is a fine stretch of level land, from which the hills rise In easy Slopes to the southern boundary, formed by the road. There is hardly an acre on the whole property which will not afford one or more beautiful building sites, commanding unrivalled views, sheltered from cold winds, and enjoying the full benefit of the cea breeze in summer. Plans and photographio views of the estate may be eeen, and every Information obtained, on application at the Rooms ot. the Great Northern Land Agenoy, or to any of the mem bers of the Auokland Brokers' Assooiation. from whom forms of application may also be obtained, and by whom (as well as the. Manager ot the G.N.L. A.) applications will be received. The First Annual Meeting of Shareholders will be held at the Great Northorn Land Agency Rooms, on Monday, November 7th, at 3 o'clock, p.m., when a draft of the Articles of Assooiation and Rules wiU be submitted for approval, and Directors and other Officers appointed. Conveyances will be running out evoiy after noon, or by special arrangement. Anyone desir ing to pay a visit to the property may do so by booking seats at the above named room<>, where farther information will be given on application. Medical.
