Elected
MR. L. F. GARNETT was the only candidate in the Suva Town Council by-election, and has been declared elected as a Councillor.
The by-election was made necessary by the resignation of Mr, D. B. Costello, who has moved from Suva to Tavua.
Two old-timers from Eastern Papua, Mr.
P. R. Osborne and Mr. R. D. Smith, ar rived in Sydney early in October—Mr.
Smith on long leave, and Mr. Osborne to settle down in NSW. Mr. Osborne arrived first in Port Moresby in 1909, when there were only 70 Europeans (13 women) there. For very many years he has been on the staff of Cuthberts Misima Gold mines and few men know more than he about that type of mining.
