War Damage Commission
mHE War Damage Commission reports X that, following the request for photographs of Chinatown, Rabaul, in “PIM” for June, a number of photo graphs were received by them. These proved most useful in connection with the assessment of property in that area.
However, the Commission is still with out a photographic record of certain parts of Chinatown, and any reader who has photos of this area but has not yet sent them to the Commission, is urged to do so. Every care will be taken of the ori ginals and they will be promptly returned.
It is also of interest to Papuan and
New Guinea property-owners who are insured against war damage, to note that photographs of their property—or pic tures of any other buildings in New Guinea—are useful to the Commission in assessing fixed property claims.
Name and address of sender, a descrip tion of the picture and, if possible, the date it was taken, should be written on the back of each photograph. They should be addressed to the War Damage Com mission, MLC Building, 44 Martin Place, Sydney.
Miss D. Rogerson, who was appointed to the office of the chairman of the Metho dist Mission in Suva, Fiji, three months ago, is still awaiting transport in Sydney.
