PRIVATE enterprise has shown its faculty for exploring paths un trodden, in the establishment of a freezing works by the Cosmopolitan Hotel, Samarai, and will supply an overdue want. The aim is to supply fresh fruit, vegetables and meat, sup

The power is derived from a Fetters Yeovil 18/21 b.h.p. engine, with l½ ton compressor. The ice delivery is 3 tons every 12 hours. Direct current is sup plied for hotel lighting and fans. An independent plant provides for the run ning of a picture show once a week, which, although of the silent variety, is none the less enjoyable.
