Naming Suva’S Streets
p. 111 · Read in the full issue
From Our Own Correspondent SUVA, March 1.
MANY streets in Suva and its suburbs, especially in newly developed areas, are still un-named. Recently a committee met to advise the Director of Lands on the selection of suitable names for streets in sub-divisions of Crown land.
Among the names recommended are those of former Governors and prominent citizens of the Colony. Fijian names have been recommended only when they can be easily pronounced by non-Fijians.
They include the names of birds, fishes, flowers, trees and islands. It is intended to publish a list of the Committee’s recommendations shortly.
