IT was stated in the last issue of the “P.1.M.”, that friction had developed between the New Guinea Administra tion (owners of the land) and the trustees of the Rabaul Amateur Turf Club, who were the occupiers of the land known as the Lakunai Racecourse, which recently had been used by the Administration for purposes of an aerodrome. It was stated that the trustees were very angry with certain steps which had been taken by the Administration, and had made an appeal to Canberra.
A conference was held in mid-June, be tween the parties interested, and it was arranged that sufficient additional land should be made available by the Admini stration, so as to provide for the needs of an aerodrome, a racecourse, and a golf links. This means that all the several interests concerned, which previously were in conflict, are now acting in har mony.
