Still More Roads

Position on Morobe Tableland, N.G.
From Our Own Correspondent WAU, Jan. 6.
ALTHOUGH we are entirely shut off from the coast, on this Morobe table land, we have a growing mileage of roads, for our growing number of motor vehicles.
The completion recently of the bridge over the Bulolo River, at the Power House, gives us a run of about 50 miles in one stretch. From Edie Creek to Baiune, via Wau and Bulolo, even if the road is not the best in spots, is a trip every motorist will enjoy, as a diver sion from air travel.
Meanwhile, the plan of a Wau-Sala maua road, is in abeyance again. No one knows what is happening—although Mr.
Field (Director of Public Works) who has been surveying various routes, prob ably will have a big say in things.
Meantime, the New Guinea Mining As sociation still is fighting tooth and nail for its “shortest and most direct route”.
