Numerous petty thefts of timber from buildings undergoing construction in Nairn street, and its vicinity are reported ; and it, is suggested by residents there that that part of the city and the district about Mitchelltown have now grown to such proportions that a police station is required there, independently of the one at Mount Cook. Most of the purchasers of allotments in the Korokoro Village Settlement at Petone have now built dwellings for themselves. The majority of the houses? are on a modest scale, as many of them will be lean-tos when the proprietors are able to erect the main portions of their residences. Already, however, some very excellent villas have been completed. The fine weather yesterday led a large number of Petone residents to visit the settlement, from which a splendid view of the whole of the harbour is obtainable.
