SUVA is to be proclaimed a city as soon as the necessary pro clamation can be prepared. This was announced by the Governor at the September session of the newly constituted Legislative Council.

Sir Ronald Garvey said that all in Fiji could be proud of the fact that Suva, blasted by a hurricane and shaken to its foundations by an earthquake within two years, “can take it.” He expressed the sympathy of the Council to all who had suffered loss or damage, and paid a tribute to those who had kept essential services operating and had kept the public informed of the actual facts.
