Retires
From N. Guinea
HAVING concluded long leave, Mr. E. P. Holmes last month retired from the position of Secretary of Department of Lands in New Guinea. He joined the New Guinea service in 1923: became Lands chief in 1932: and —except for the war break —held the posi tion until now. Minister Hasluck said in Canberra that his know ledge of land titles was unique and irreplaceable, and paid warm tri bute to the service he had given; and all Territorians will regret the departure of “Pat” and his popular wife.
