Ng Timber Claims
From Our Own Correspondent
Rabaul. Jan., 27
WAR Damage settlement for all holders of timber claims is still held up, and much inconvenience is being experienced by timbermen who are anxiously awaiting to commence their rehabilitation. Explanation of delay is that the forestry department has not yet completed the necessary report for War Damage.
Mr. Richards of the War Damage Com mission is attending a conference in Port Moresby at present and Mr. Pratten, of the same department, is on an inspection tour of all properties on the South Coast of New Britain.
Mr. Richards will be away about a month and Mr. Pratten about three weeks.
