Old Markham Road In Use
AFTER years of exasperating delay, some roads are being built in the fertile Lae-Markham River district of New Guinea by the Administration.
The old Markham Road—built by Ad ministrator Wisdom and allowed to fall into disrepair—has been reconditioned, under the direction of Mr. Hoffman, and probably it will be used a good deal in the near future. Allotments have been taken up along this road, not far out from Lae. and a start has been made on a number of the blocks with a view to the production of cocoa.
