AS soon as the new Administrator gives permission, Bulolo Gold Dredging, Ltd., will send 60 Europeans to New Guinea to repair the power stations (demolished by scorched earth), resume work at the sawmills, and re-start the eight dredges (not seriously damaged— mostly by looters seeking gold). Six Europeans and 50 natives have been busy there for months, on maintenance, and some repairs.

Mr. L. V. Waterhouse, the company s technical director, whose back was injured while travelling last March, leit hospital in August; but he suffered a relapse, plus an attack of pneumonia.
