New Building Sites For

Home-Hungry Suva

rE area, about three miles from Suva, which was used as an Army camp during the war, is being surveyed for leasehold building sites, says the “Crown Colonist.”

Entire lack of suitable sites near Suva for many years has created a big de mand for both sites and houses, and high prices have been paid during the war by Indians for town sites. Building restrictions are partly to blame for the present shortage.

In February, during the absence of Mr.

H. E. Maude, MBE, Acting Resident Com missioner of the Gilbert and Ellice Colony, Mr. D. C. I. Wernham acted as Resident Commissioner.
