Rarotonga
RAROTONGA has done much to set her house in order after the severe hurri cane early last year.
The Storm Reparation Fund, with Gov ernment assistance, enabled the building of a new nurses’ home and kitchen, both buildings having now been completed. The contractors are now busy with the hospital extension, which will provide additional accommodation.
“When completed the latter should be a fine building,” says the Medical Superin tendent, Dr. E. P. Ellison, “and sufficient
to meet the needs for generations come of a steadily growing population.”
Other improvements at Avarua include ferro-concrete walls, which will afford bet ter protection in the event of another h.ur
ricane.-
