It is reported that Wau, chief town of the New Guinea goldfield, is to have a second hotel. A license has been granted to Mr. John Parer, formerly of Melbourne, who is an uncle of the well-known air man, Ray Parer.
Mr. A. F. Parer was recently granted a license for Edie Creek, and it is reported that he is building a hotel there.
It is likely that there will be consider able developments in the Edie Creek area at an early date. A contract for the con struction of a full width road, over the 14 miles between Wau and Edie Creek, has been let and, on last advices, con struction work was to commence imme diately. The new road will not follow the old track and will, of course, be better graded.
