Savaii Government Centre Changed to Tuasivi.
From Our Own Correspondent.
APIA, March 20.
THE Administration announces the transfer of the administrative cen tre of the island of Savaii from Fagamalo to Tuasivi.
Fagamalo has been the centre since the German regime, and was for some years the seat of the well-known De puty Administrator Williams, an Irish man by birth and the only German of ficial in Samoa and elsewhere, who was unable to speak the German lan guage. He was taken over by the New Zealand Administration and retained in his position.
Tuasivi, the new seat of the Savaii Administration is situated in the densely populated district of Faasa leleaga and also considerably closer to Apia by motor-boat. There is a dis trict hospital in Tuasivi, and this will now be run in conjunction with the administrative department more effi ciently and economically.
Probably the doctor in charge of Tuasivi Hospital will hold the position of Deputy Administrator of Savaii, whereby a considerable saving may be effected.
