Suva, Sept. 1.
AS part of Fiji’s Development Plan, a new slipway is to be built at Suva and a new wharf at Lautoka. Mr.
Kenyon Bell has arrived from London to examine the project and report to the Government.
A law has been passed in Formosa for bidding aborigine girls of marriageable age from going to the city. They must stay home and marry only aboriginal men.
