No Tenders For Apia-Pago Pago Mail Contract
From Our Own Correspondent APIA, April 13.
Ij'Oß the mail contract between Apia, Western Samoa, and Pago Pago, American Samoa, to connect with the Matson liners, tenders had been called for the year starting April 1, 1936. No tenders have been received for the new period and mails, therefore, will have to be despatched by Government launches, if no other boats are available.
For the previous year, Messrs. Burns Philp (S.S.) Co. Ltd. held the contract, using the motor launch Tiafau, and later the Taumafni.
Mr. G. D. Casbolt, of Messrs. W. R.
Carpenter and Co. Ltd., Rabaul, New Guinea, arrived in Sydney on furlough by the Nankin on April 22.
