Papeete, May 10.
WITH the august ceremonies of the Roman Catholic Church, Pere Paul Mazet was consecrated Vicaire Apostolique de Tahiti, at the Cathedral at Papeete, on Sunday, May 1.
The consecrating prelate was Mon seigneur Lecarde, Vicaire Apostolique of the Marquesas Islands.
The Diocese of Tahiti includes not only the Islands of the Society Group, but the Tuamotu Archipelago, the Austral Islands, and the far-away Gambiers, where the first mission of the church in Central Polynesia was established over a century ago.
A plan for providing Port Vila (New Hebrides) with electric light and power has been completed and approved by the local authorities.
