From Our Own Correspondent.
Pt. Moresby, Mar. 20.
r:E new road giving access to the battery site on Paga Hill, overlooking Port Moresby, has been put through well on schedule time.
The road is well-planned, following the contours of the hill at a regular gradi ent of 1 in 15. The work entailed a great deal of blasting in hard rock, and has been carried out entirely by prison labour.
Although a good deal remains to be done in the way of widening and sur facing before the job can be considered complete, the road is already far enough advanced to permit the transport of the six-inch guns that are to be delivered here at the end of the month.
