SUVA, June 25.
RECENTLY, work was undertaken to improve the watering facilities at Suva for vessels touching at the port. New pumping machinery was installed, not without some criticism as to the installa tion being in advance of the requirements.
It is interesting to note that when the “Franconia” was here, she was supplied with 1624 tons of water. On the same day, the “Mariposa” took 713 tons. The total amount paid was £106/10/-.
Apparently Suva’s rainfall is not al together wasted these days.
