Industry

rpHE Aneityum Logging Company (New 1 Hebrides) intends to expand its operations. It has purchased, in New Zealand, a complete sawmill, which will be dismantled and re-erected on Aneityum. The technician in charge of this job has already arrived on the island.

With the purchase of this sawmill and supplementary woodworking machinery the Company expects to supply all the sawn timber required in the New Heb rides. There are some good stands of Kauri in the southern islands of the group.

The supply of such timber will enable the Condominium Government to go ahead with its building programme, long delayed through lack of building material.
