At Levuka
SUVA, Sept. 27.
AFTER having operated at Ovalau Island for 59 years, the Levuka branch of the Bank of New Zealand has been shut down. In 1876 the N.Z. Bank took over the establishment of the Fiji Banking and Commerce Co., a syndicate of local planters and traders. The only other bank at Levuka is the Bank of New South Wales, opened about 30 years ago, which is still carrying on operations.
Mr. C. E. Redgrave, who was manager of the N.Z. Bank oh Ovalau Island, and his assistant, Mr. R. H. Page, have arrived in Suva to complete the transfer of accounts from Levuka.
