P. Moresby, Feb. 2.
THE Minister for Territories (Mr.
Hasluck) says there has been greater development on road building in the Territory during the past two years than in any com parable period. On his present tour he has travelled over new roads built in the Highlands, and the Madang area by the District Ser vices and Native Affairs Depart ment, with the co-operation of native communities. These included suspension and conventional span bridges. Mr. Hasluck said new roads were important agents of civilisation, and valuable in opening up the country for general admin istration.
