From Our Own Correspondent
Port Moresby, June 26.
THE plans and specifications for the hospital for native tubercular patients are now complete, and the building will soon be erected on an island by Hunter Passage at the entrance to the harbour.
The natives of Hanuabada objected to the hospital being erected in their village district, as their superstitious beliefs were against it. The Government, therefore, decided to erect it on the island instead.
Its isolated position will be greatly to the advantage of the natives.
