p. 151 · Read in the full issue

THE Suva dock area, centre of the busiest port in the South Seas, is to be moved to nearby Walu Bay, the Fiji Government an nounced on November 24.

The wharves, long due for re placement, were wrecked in the 1952 hurricane and serious new subsidences occurred in the earth quake this year.

The new dock system will cost £2,500,000. It will provide berths for four ocean-going ships.

The work is expected to take four years from the time of accept ance of the tender.
