Suva, Nov. 14.

WHEN the new building for the Bank of New South Wales is completed it will be one of the finest struc tures in Suva. Work was commenced in October.

The building, designed in modern style, is to be constructed of reinforced concrete on pile foundations, the exter nal elevations being finished with tinted cement and a glazed terracotta base course. The public accommodation will be very commodious, a special feature being the travel department. The bank ing premises will occupy the whole of the ground floor, together with a por tion of the first floor. The remaining first floor area of over 5,000 sq. ft., will be divided into offices to let.

A notice in the New Guinea Gazette states that, unless cause to the contrary can be shown, Morobe Alluvials, N.L., which was registered in the Territory in September. 1935, will be struck off the list of N.G. mining companies in Janu ary.
