T.I. to Retain its Garrison.
From Our Own Correspondent
Thursday Is., May 20.
THE electric light is being installed at the artillery barracks, which appears to upset the local rumour that the garrison is shortly to be removed en tirely to Darwin.
That it will be transferred eventually may be taken for granted, as it is part of the Imperial defence scheme based on the naval force at Singapore, which will require a military nucleus in the Northern Territory.
In the meantime, T.I. is gratified at retaining the “men on the hill.” They are a well-behaved and sporting lot of young fellows, who do much towards keeping the island alive, and who take a full share in public social events.
