Kavieng, Feb. 9

The New Irelamd District Advisory Coun cil met in Kavieng on February 7, to discuss, among other matters, the official delivery of mail to plantations along the East Coast Road.

Mr. W. Dolby of Kavieng, astounded

residents and a Government Department by completing the erection of his attrac tive small bungalow in seven days. Mr. and Mrs. Dolby have now moved in.

Planters will be sorry to lose Mr.

MacKellar of the Copra Marketing Board.

He leaves Kavieng shortly to take up an other appointment with the Board.

Work on re-surfacing the East Coast Road is proceeding very slowly, due to heavy Northwest rain over the last month.
