Sydney-N.G. Air Route
THE preparation of a terminal landing * ground in New Guinea, as part of the scheme for the establishment of a weekly air-mail between Sydney and N.G., will be one of the first tasks of the first permanent works director appointed to the Mandated Territory.
For six years this post has been filled by an inspector of the Commonwealth Works Department, but, following his appointment to a post in Australia, a permanent position has been created in New Guinea. The Federal Works De
partment has made several recommenda tions from among its technical officers, and these are now being considered by the Minister in Charge of Territories (Sir George Pearce).
Extensive alterations to aerodromes and landing grounds between Brisbane and Thursday Island will be carried out before the end of the present financial year.
