P. Moresby’s New Suburb

PORT MORESBY’S new suburb of Boroko has grown and taken shape in the last two or three years—the Agriculture Department’s officers have just completed the planting of 800 trees there. Boroko is out beyond Badili, which is the settlement established for the hous ing of the Australian Petroleum Co.’s staff. Colonel J. K. Murray in sisted on the establishment of Boroko as a settlement for public servants, although the plan was criticised because the suburb seemed to be too far from Konedobu, where most of the public servants have their offices.
