Population
From Our Own Correspondent
Port Moresby, Dec. 14.
OWING to the growing population of Port Moresby, there has been con cern over the shortage of building sites.
Recently, however, it was ascertained that there are 50 allotments available on the slopes of the hills facing Ela Beach and the harbour. Several blocks have been surveyed on the hill leading to the golf links from Ela Beach. These positions, though offering fine views, have the disadvantage of being on slopes that demand a certain amount of excavation before buildings can be erected. However,
as every block of flat surface has long been taken up, this is unavoidable.
