From Our Own Correspondent

Port Moresby, July 19.

MR. D. S. HUNT, of Perth, Western Australia, the contractor for the Defence Department’s water supply at Darwin. Northern Australia, paid a hurried visit to Papua by airliner on July 10, returning by the same plane on the 12th. Residents of Port Moresby hope that Mr. Hunt’s visit will have some bear ing on the suggested water supply, so urgently needed for the growing town ship and the defence garrison’s require ments.
