Apia, Oct. 15.
GOOD progress is being made with construction of the new passenger landing jetty and Customs examination shed at Apia, W. Samoa.
This is the first part of a plan, approved by the Legislative Council earlier this year, which will change the face of Apia’s waterfront.
The plan includes lighting of the dock area, installation of a 10-ton crane, establishment of complete banana export facilities, repairs and extensions to the main coastal vessels’ wharf, establishment of a liquor retail store on the water front, with Harbourmaster’s and Customs offices above, enlargements to import storage shed on wharf, fencing the entire dock area, and the installation of two mobile :ranes for cargo handling.
The new passenger jetty will re move passengers from the con gested cargo-handling area. The jetty is built of concrete, arranged m levels each differing by 15 in to suit any stage of the tide.
