Long-Awaited Jetty
From Our Own Correspondent
Suva, Jan. 30.
THE provision of a jetty on the Tailevu coast to eliminate the present system of requiring Levuka-bound passen gers to wade (through sea or mud, ac cording to the state of the tide) to launches at Lodoni, has been officially talked about since 1934.
This is pointed out by the Levuka Citizens’ Association in a brisk reminder to the Government, The Revised Development Plan provides £5,000 for a jetty or wharf, and shed, at Natovi, north of Lodoni, but wharf work at Suva and Lautoka has been given priority and the Tailevu job is not scheduled to start before 1951.
The Levuka Association maintains that the work would not take longer than two months and, claiming that Natovi is much more hazardous for launches than Lodoni, asks for the jetty to be built at the pre sent jumping-off (or wading-off) point.
