Crown Land Leases
From Our Own Correspondent
Suva. Aug. 16.
A STATEMENT of policy regarding the control of dealings in Crown land leases has been made by the Gov ernment of Fiji.
This policy is aimed primarily at pre venting an undue increase in the selling price of leases of Crown land or the use of such leases for speculative purposes, or the sale of any lease at an uneconomic price. A secondary purpose is the elimi nation of the payment of any premiums of speculative or inflation value and to discourage except for genuine com mercial purposes the sub-leasing of Crown land.
Mr. H. W. Quinton, formerly of New Guinea Treasury Staff, Rabaul, has been transferred to the Commonwealth Audi tor-General’s Office, London and left Sydney for London in August.
