Port Moresby, Feb. 4.
IMPROVEMENTS have been made in the arrangement and control of Badili Gaol, Port Moresby, in which a dramatic murder occurred last year.
In July last, Captain C. P. Dolan, well known in Sydney military and journalis tic circles, joined the Papuan Govern ment service as head gaoler. Under his control, a stricter discipline hac been in troduced, and his suggestions for the im proved arrangement of the various gaol buildings and the compound have re sulted in more effectual supervision and more regular routine.
Captain Dolan is the first head gaoler to hold also the position of an officer of Native Armed Constabulary. A small de tachment of police is stationed perman ently at the gaol under his orders, and there is now a regular police night guard in addition to the warder on night duty.
Mr. R. W. Robertson, of the Watut, New Guinea, arrived in Sydney by the “Bulolo” on January 31.
Mr. “Ossie” H. Clifford, manager of Colless’s Bakery at Thursday Island, is at present in Sydney. He will return to T.I. at the end of March.
