Service
THE Chief Secretary of New South Wales, who has control over Lord Howe Island, has been in communi cation with Lord Howe Island and Nor folk Island residents with a view to pro viding them with a better passenger ser vice with Sydney. The service at pre sent is carried out by the old Burns, Philp steamer “Morinda”, and the accom modation is neither frequent nor good.
Against that, however, it has been point ed out that the ordinary traffic between Sydney and the two islands is very small and does not justify a better service; while the tourist traffic between Austra lia and the islands, while considerable, is entirely seasonal.
