Block In P. Moresby
Letter to the Editor
YOUR article “Port Moresby Business Boom” (page 64 of your February issue) recalls to mind that in 1921- 1922, that particular site was reserved for just such a block of Government offices, as you recommend, and a sum of £B,OOO was to be earmarked as the initial cost.
However, on soundings being taken for the concrete base, no solid “bottom” could be found and, as the cost of “floaters” would have been prohibitive, the project was abandoned.

Pitcairn Island’s first divorce action was mentioned in Wellington, NZ, in February, when Mrs. Chester Young claimed divorce from Mr. Young on the ground of three years’ separation. The case was postponed when the respond ent objected that a decree granted in NZ might not be recognised among the islanders, who rejected the idea of divorce.
