Don’T Go Down The

RABAUL, April 15.

RABAUL citizens are having drain trouble.

It was reported at the April meeting of the Rabaul Advisory Council that in recent weeks, three different people had fallen into the town’s drains during the hours of darkness and had sustained various

injuries.

The District Commissioner’s atten tion was drawn to these facts and guard-rails were suggested as a remedy.

Mr. B. C. Cartland, Chief Lands Commissioner in the Gilbert and Ellice Islands Colony, is to act as Resident Commissioner at Tarawa, after the Acting RC, Mr. J. R.

Keegan, goes on leave this month.

Mrs. Cartland was in Sydney in April, visiting their children, who are at school in NSW.
