Apia, Nov. 19.

THE present boom in the Territory of Western Samoa is expected to last for some years and has brought about a greatly increased building ac tivity.

As a result, the well known construc tion company of Fletcher’s Ltd., of New Zealand has extended its activities by the formation of a new subsidiary in Samoa. The company was incorporated in Apia on October 22 as Fletchers (South Seas) Ltd., with an authorised capital of £20,000, and wholly owned by Fletcher Holdings Ltd., of Auckland, New Zealand.

Principal object of the new Company is building construction and a consider able volume of work has already been secured. The Company will undertake major building projects throughout the

Pacific Islands according to Mr. J. C.

Fletcher, Managing Director.
