We are glad to observe the many and varied improvements that have been made in the buildings in the township since the land sale. Now that the inhabitants are assured of the validity of their title to the allotments on which their buildings stand they do not hesitate to make alterations in their appearance and structures, notwithstanding that the dull times almost forbids the expenditure of money on anything but the merest necessaries. If the improvements continue at the same rate as at present it will not be long before calico-covered buildings become a relic of the past, and the dilapidated fronts of broken cases, &c., give place to weatherboard, plate-glass, and cunningly executed decorations, which will put to shame the first rough efforts of the painter's skill.— Dunstan News, Feb. 24.
