THE Palm Beach tea-gardens and swim ming-baths at Rabaul, situated be tween the Malaguna and the Toboi copra wharfs, were officially opened on July 31 by the Administrator of New Guinea, Sir Walter McNicoll. It was a very enjoyable social function and the attendance was large.
The Administrator complimented Mr.
D. S. Davies upon his enterprise in provid ing this attractive pleasure resort, which is likely to be much patronised by both residents and tourists.
The Administrator said he was glad that Mr. Davies had so much faith in the future of Rabaul, because he was sure that, as long as the harbour remained, Rabaul would always be a large and pros perous town. He was glad that Mr. Davies had not allowed the volcanoes to interfere with his project.
