Mr. Subritzky has a property of about seventeen acres, adjoining the wharf, where he has erected commodious business premises, including a store 24 x 18 feet.

Subritzky, and was born at Mount Maldon, Victoria, in 1856, and first came to page 600 New Zealand in the old barque “Prince Alfred” in 1867.
