THE Public Works Department has A made many improvements in the town of Rabaul within the last six months. Six new bungalows have been erected, besides an addition to the Supreme Court and an Asiatic ward for the Rapindik Hos pital. This latter has been an urgent need and will be greatly appreciated.
District Officer’s residence and police offices and quarters have also been con structed in outlying districts such as Wewak and Bulwa. At Wau, besides three bungalows, quarters for nurses have been fitted out at the European Hospital, and an Assay Laboratory and an isola tion ward and morgue for the Native Hospital.
Much has been done to improve the conditions of the medical services in New Ireland. At Kavieng, a new dispensary and consulting room have been completed and also a new operating theatre. There have been several additions to the Native Hospital. Besides these innovations, work on the roads has been extended along the east and west coasts.
