Papeete, June 14.
\ NEW Papeete is rapidly growing on a site to the eastward of the oid town.
The sugar plantation at Fariipiti (within the city boundaries) was aban doned some years ago as a plantation, and roads were cut through the property.
The land was divided into parcels which have been bought by residents wishing to escape from the congestion of the old settlement.
Many new houses have been erected— mostly of the bungalow type—each sur rounded by well-kept lawns and gardens.
The borders of the avenues have been planted with flowering trees, and in time, this new section will be a veritable garden spot.
