Proposal To Double The Service
IT is probable that an application willJ be made to the Commonwealth Gov ernment by Messrs. W. R. Carpenter: and Co. Ltd. for permission to re-ar- ■ range the new airmail service between j Sydney and New Guinea, so that the; number of machines in use may be: doubled. This is due to the fact that; since the inauguration of the service; at the beginning of June, it has been, found impossible for the aeroplanes to< carry all the passengers who sought tO( travel by air between Australia and the; Territories.
The service has been run in a very efficient manner. There has not beenj even a minor accident, and the machines! have adhered strictly to timetable.
The quick communication that is now’ available between the Territories andl the main cities of Australia is much ap preciated by the residents of New Guinea, and Papua and is being used to a greater extent every week.
