Sir Alport Barker

Reside In N. Zealand

THE well-known former Mayor of Suva, and proprietor and editor for many years of The Fiji Times, Sir Alport Barker (who is about to depart for Hawaii, to attend a Tourist and Travel Con ference on behalf of Fiji) has in dicated that he will shortly retire from the Colony, and make his permanent residence in New Zea land. Sir Alport was married in December in Auckland, and the second Lady Barker will accompany him to Honolulu.

Sir Alport gave very many years of public service to the Colony, in the Legislative Council and in the municipality, and was a tireless worker in the many causes which he espoused. His place in Suva will be hard to fill.
