Acreage Soon be Ready

D. McLeod, of Vancouver, ar-
rived in New Hazelton on Mon-
day morning and spent a couple
of days renewing old acquain-|*
tances. The chief object of his
trip was to consult with J. Allan
Rutherford, the surveyor, who
bas been laying out the weat half
of Lot 863 into five- and ten-acre
blocks. This land will be ready
for the market in a very short

time, As soon as Mr. MeLeod
gets back to Vancouver he will

jreport to the other members of|

the owning company. Then the
plan must be submitted to the
minister of public works.

There has already been a num-
ber of enquiries for acreage in
this section ard there 1s reason
to believe that all-the land will be
disposed of very soon after it is
put on the market. The terms
wiil be most favorable to family
men who want to geta start on
a home of their own and who are
prepared to improve the property.
As the plan is now there wil] be
about thirty pieces and it is prac-
tically all the choicest of land.
The plan also provides for ample
road allowances, in addition to
the main road, which will form
part of the main highway from
coast to coast,
