Proposed
From Our Own Correspondent
Papeete, Jan. 29.
A scheme which may bring a few welcome dollars into Tahiti in these bad times, and incidentally find em ployment for a number of people, is the promotion of a permanent lottery by a couple of Australians who arrived recently to negotiate with the Govern ment and make tentative arrange ments for premises, etc. It now seems fairly certain that the proposition is going through, and will soon be in operation.
Mr. P. C. Hubbard, recently acting as British Judge on the Condominium Joint Court of the New Hebrides, has been spending a few weeks in Sydney, prior to leaving for London. Mr. Hub bard probably will return to the Solo mon Islands, where he was formerly chief magistrate, and from which ser vice he was transferred to the New Hebrides about two years ago.
