From Our Own Correspondent SUVA, July 19.

SINCE July 9, when the Local Govern ment (Towns) Ordinance came into force, the Government-nominated Suva Town Board has been acting as a caretaker for the elected Suva Town Council of the future.

When the European and Indian elec toral rolls are completed and revised, an election will be held. No date has been fixed, but December has been suggested, in which case the new council will take office on January 1, 1949.
