New Roads For

Samoa

Apia May Get Access to Cool Highlands

OUT of funds—about £50,000 —made available by the New Zealand Gov ernment from the profits of the Re parations Estates, the Administration of Western Samoa will build a good road around Savaii Island, and another road across Upolu, to connect Apia district with the South Coast.

These new roads will do much to open up both islands to new settlement.

The Upolu road may make some of the high and cool country of the interior readily accessible to residents of Apia, who suffer a good deal from the humid heat of that area.
