From Our Own Correspondent WAU. Sept. 2.
MR. P. D. McKENZIE, private surveyor in New Guinea, is possibly making history by the use of his latest ac quisition—a teleradio receiving and transmitting set.
At present engaged on an extensive sur vey in the “back of beyond” part of the Territory, Mr. McKenzie has been sub mitting to his draughtsman in Rabaul. by pre-arranged code, all the figures and calculations of his first job. The plan will be plotted, drawn and ready his sig nature on his return to his office. This far-seeing surveyor is now able to get through considerably more work than has been possible previously, being unham pered by old-time delays of forwarding data by the slow inter-island post.
Mr. Alan Gow, of the Wau District Office. New Guinea, arrived in Sydney by the August “Bulolo”.
Hon. George H. Murray, M.L.C., Dir ector of Agriculture in New Guinea, re turned to Rabaul in August, after several months’ sick leave in Australia.
