Want Him!

rPHE New Caledonian General Council, X in its everlasting fight against ex cessive red tape and officialdom —the French call it fonctionnairisme—refused to pay the salary of yet another metro politan official, M. Ferratv, an engineer being sent out to join the Colony’s Public Works Department.

As a result, M. Ferraty received orders to land at Martinique, whence he will be switched to French Equatorial Africa.

It was a year ago that the New Cale donian Assembly first protested against his appointment.
