Fiji Legislative Council Approves Development, Education Plans
Suva, Nov. 27.
THE Budget session of the Legislative Council ended on November 2.
During the session the 1947 Appropria tion Bill was passed and approval was given for the ten-year Development Plan and the plan for the re-organisation of the education system of the Colony. The report of the Civil Service Salaries Re vision Committee was also accepted.
One unofficial member, before the ad journment, expressed the fear that these plans, although officially accepted and passed, would be shelved and forgotten— a not-unknown occurrence in Govern mental procedure.
The Governor, Sir Alexander Gran
tham, in reply, said that he felt the fear to be groundless. The Government had its mandate, and now it must proceed.
