New B.P.C. Office On Nauru

Prom Our Own Correspondent

Nauru, Jan. 14.

BUILDING operations are in full swing at the B.P.C. settlement. The new two-storey head office building of reinforced concrete is nearing comple tion. and a number of small two-room residences for married couples are going ahead on the ridge above the coastal belt.

There is need now for a new and well equipned club-house and recreation room for the bachelors —the present building being inadequate and unsatisfactory. It is probable, however, that nothing will be done in this connection until after the building of a second huge cantilever for loading phosphate, which is being planned, has been completed.
