Port Moresby. July 26.
THE recently completed building for the offices of the Lands Department in Port Moresby is now occupied by the Department’s staff. Standing below the old building, it contains well ventilated offices and a large excellently lit and well equipped drafting room.
Altogether, the building marks an ad vance in architectural design for this Territory, all the rooms being very spa cious and cool. Mr. Shelton-O’Reilly, the architect, has received many congratu lations on a really fine job of work.
