Capital, i850,000,m 10,000 Shares of £5 Eaoh. Payable as follows :—£l on AppUoation; £1 on Allotment, Tho balance at discretion of Directors. DlB-OTOHS: ' To be Appointed at First Annual Meeting, Solicitors: W_ Coleman, Esq., and Messrs ——— BANKERS! Union Bank ot Australia. ; Brokkhs: , The Auokland Brokers' Association, and T, W. Hickson, Manager G.N.L. Agenoy. I ' | The object of the Company will be to take up < the project (towards which a targe amount of Capital Is already subscribed) of opening up for ' Building Purposes the three Properties at pre sent in the hands of the Auckland Stud Com pany, Messrs Gilford and _vans (the Alderney ; cattle-breeders), and Messrs Gollan. The com bined estates comprise sections 22, 23,21,25, and 26, Parish Waitemata, and contain about 560 Acres of First-class Land, having an extensive frontage to the sea at the entrance of the har bour, and to public roads in the vicinity of St. John's College. It is admittedly one of the most attractive places to be found in suoh close proximity to any city in the colonies the b!ze of Auckland; and it may be remarked en passant that scores of visitors to the far-famed Stud Company's stables have expressed their b_-prise 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 Auokland it would be eagerly sought after at prices which to Aucklanders would seem fabu> lous. Want of co-operation amongst the several pro prietors has prevented its being opened up earlier. The best way to overcome this diffi culty is by the formation of a joint stock company to take over the three properties* surrounding the Bay at a fair valuation, which has been fixed at £70 an aore; including valuable improvements. To build a pier (estimated cost £900) at whioh steamers may lie with perfect safety at all times of tide and in any weather. To purchase or charter a steamer to run regu larly at intervals of an hour or of toner, dur ing the day. To lay off and form roads through the property and to cut up into sections, and to build, or to assist suitable tenants to build superior residences, and otherwise improve the property. The locality when thus opened up and brought within twenty-five minutes' journey of tho oity, possessing as it does bo many natural attractions, cannot fail to beoome the favourite of Auck land's many beautiful suburbs. The prioe to be paid may at first glancb seem a high one, but when it is considered that land in the neighbourhood of Ponsonby, Newton.iMt. Kden, _psora, Remnera, and Brl«hton,has been Bold at from £200 to £500 an acre, and that St. Hellers Bay will offer attractions superior to any of them, it will be manifest to anyone that not only does the price to be paid leave a good mar gin for profit, but room for tho realization .of handsome fortunes by persons investing largely in tho Company's 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 steamer than it does any of the above-named suburbs by 'bus. The distance from wharf to wharf is only 1} miles, the course being perfectly smooth in nearly all weathers. The trip on the water need not occupy more than 20 to 80 minutes, and will always he a pleasant one. It will only be necessary for the company to pnt on a good steamer, charge Id s ngle fare, 6d return, and 2s weekly ticket, to bring it within the means of every one, and make the place the ' 'cheapest and pleasantest to live in of all the Auckland suburbs. Here, again, it will be sold that to pat on such a steamer before the place becomes well popu lated will involve a heavy outlay, and the returns will be next to nothing for some months. Bnt this does not necessarily follow. It is anticipated that, until the place becomes settled, the boat will be fully occupied in carrying timber and workmen to and. from the place, .white during- the summer afternoons, I many" people will avail themselves of the cheap trips to the beautiful beach, the cool woodlands and breezy graßS-covered Blopes of St, Hellers, and that thus the trafflo, if not quite sufficient to pay working expenses; will, at any rate, go a great way towards doing bo ; while, at the some time, the mainohjeot in view will be accomplished/ namely, to bring the place within easy reaoh of town, and thereby largely increase its value for building purposes. : It will bo a matter for. the consideration of the direotors also whether it will not be worth while to pat on a first-rate four-horse coach, or perhaps two, so tbat 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 io minutes with a good team, St. Hellers will have this great advantage over its North Shore rival at all times that residents who may be inclined to keep a horse 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 will at the same time have the advantage Of eaßy and oheap communication by water. . The climate cf the place is remarkably pleasant and equable, owing to its being sheltered in the winter from the bleak south-westerly gales, ond fanned in the Bummer 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 sailing craft of every size and build. To persons fond of boating or sea bathing, the Bay wilt be especially attractive, as in it small croft may be secured 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 place 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 tbe whole property which will not afford one or more beautiful building Bites, commanding unrivalled views, sheltered from cold winds, and enjoying the full benefit of the sea breeze in summer. Plans and photogrophio vieWs of the estate may be seen, and every Information obtained, on application at the Rooms of the Great Northern Land Agency, or to any of the mem j bers of the Auokland Brokers' Association, from whom forms of application may also be obtained, and by whom (as well as the Manager of the G.N.L.A.) applications will be received. The First Annual Meeting of Shareholders Will be held at the Great Northern Land Agonoy Rooms, on Monday, November 7th, at 3 o'clock,, p.m., when a draft of the Artiolea of Association and Rules -wiU bo submitted for approval, and Directors and other Officers appointed.
