p. 18 · Read in the full issue
A new European school at Rabaul has been completed and will be officially opened by the Minister in Charge of Island Territories, Major C. W. C.
Marr, on his forthcoming visit to the Mandated Territory.
The former school building has been remodelled to house the Legislative Assembly. The new school is situated near the Central Court. It is built of concrete to designs prepared by the Public Works Department and has a tower which was imported from Eng land. Another large undertaking is nearing completion in the native labour compound at Matupi. This will house all native labour employed in Rabaul.
Fabricated steelwork for the buildings has been brought from Sydney and large concrete tanks have been in installed.
When the Compound is finished, all native labourers (except houseboys and those on special duties) must be in at night by 9 p.m. The Bay Loo Company is carrying out the construction of the compound. It also built the school.
