From Our Own Correspondent SUVA, Sept. 30. r[E Governor of Fiji, Sir Ronald Garvey, reported on his inspec tion trip in September to the interior of Viti Levu to the new Legislative Council, at its first meet ing on September 21.
He said that it was estimated that about 12 million feet of timber was accessible in the area. The Forestry Department and a timber company were investigating further.
Discussing the Nandrau Plateau, His Excellency said that there were useful but not large areas there, suitable for cocoa, coffee, bananas and other crops; but the exploita tion of the area would be dependent upon access roads. There was also a possibility of using the 400-foot Monasavu Falls for hydro-electric use.
