Now Settled Near Suva
HAVING retired (in October) after 36 years in the Fiji service of the Colonial Sugar Refining Company— the last 15 as Chief Manager in Fiji—Mr.
H. King Irving has settled down with his charming wife and children at Nai Vui Vui, Princes Road, Suva.
Mr. King Irving went to Fiji in 1908.
His service was interrupted in 1914 when he joined the AIF and fought, in World War 1, in Gallipoli and France. Back in Fiji, devoting his life and energy to the sugar industry, he saw and had a per sonal share in some interesting and
significant developments and changes.
He was, for years, a member of both the Legislative and Executive Councils.
In both positions, he left his mark per manently upon the Colony of Fiji.
The photograph shows Mr. King Irving and his family in the grounds of their attractive home, at Nai Vui Vui, eight miles from Suva.

Oxenbridge arrived in Suva in the “Matua” on March 28. Mr. Oxenbridge, who comes from Te Kuiti, New Zealand, is the new vicar of St. Peter’s, Lautoka, Fiji.
