sion Gives New Guinea Second
Chance of Surplus Military
Equipment
BELATEDLY, and after Australian dealers had had first choice, the Commonwealth Disposals Com mission has decided to give returning Territorians a chance to purchase surplus equipment.
An advertisement directed to “former residents, missions, traders, planters, mining and shipping companies and others concerned” appeared in the Aus tralian press during April. It stated that representatives of the Commission are located at Port Moresby, Lae, Rabaul and Torokina, and that business could also be effected, by arrangement, at Aitape, Wewak, Madang and Finsch hafen.
Lying in the above areas are motor vehicles, ships, and small craft, engineer stores, hardware, canvas ware, clothing, mess equipment, buildings, machine tools, household goods and food. These may be inspected and purchased where they lie.
