Absorbed in General Scheme Town Council Sells Undertaking

Suva, Aug. 19.

AFTER several months of negotiations the Suva Town Council has agreed to sell Suva’s electricity undertak ing to the Colonial Development Corpora tion, or to some public utility company to be set up in connection with the Navua hydro-electricity scheme. The price has yet to be negotiated, but it is believed to be about £150,000.

The Suva Council will continue the management of Suva’s electricity supply until the hydro-electric scheme is in op eration, probably about 1955.
