House Shortage In Wau

p. 7 · Read in the full issue

From Our Own Correspondent WAU, Dec. 1.

THERE is an extreme shortage of houses here, and several married people are sharing houses or living at the hotels. Several young men, anxious to bring their wives or future wives to Wau, cannot move on account of the house hunger.

New Zealand Department of External Affairs advises that a concession round trip fare of £2l by the Maui Pomare (New Zealand-Samoa-Niue-New Zealand) has been made permanent. Formerly, it was seasonal. Trippers may stay over for one month in Samoa.
