Suva Becomes a Builder's Paradise
From a Special Correspondent
Suva, Oct. 27.
THE new Government offices are taking shape and their construction is being rapidly pushed ahead, under the super vision of Mr. W. F. Hedges, 0.8. E., F.R.1.8.A. There is also much other building activity in Suva, and the town now represents a builder’s paradise.
There are bulk stores being built for Morris, Hedstrom Ltd., concrete premises for Brown and Joske Ltd. and Marlows Ltd., and a theatre for Messrs. Noerr Brothers. Work has also begun on the new towers for the Roman Catholic Cathedral which will considerably add to its appearance. As Renwick Road is to be widened, Messrs. Morris, Hedstrom are giving consideration to a large building project on the land now occupied by Sturt Ogilvie Limited.
The Bank of New South Wales has plans in progress for up-to-date premises where their old building now stands. The new building will also occupy the land used at present by the Government Phar macy. This latter office will be moved to a fine concrete building close to the Gov ernment Bond, near the Suva wharves.
