Postponed
From Our Own Correspondent WAU, Nov. 9.
A MEETING of the New Guinea Legisla tive Council was to have taken place on November 24; but it has been postponed until some time in Feb ruary, next year. This postponement has not yet been gazetted officially, but individual members were advised while in Rabaul.
There may be some good reason for this prorogation, but apart from the official mind it is difficult to understand why. At present there are a number of pressing matters which non-official mem bers desire to bring before the Council, and this apparently unnecessary delay is bewildering.
The Bay Loo Co., Ltd.’s tender—£3,B7o —was accepted recently by the NG Ad ministration for the erection of a wharf cargo shed at Madang.
