To Late
Sir Hubert Murray
WE are informed by Judge R. T.
Gore, of Port Moresby, who is at the head of the Committee responsible for the Memorial to the late Sir Hubert Murray, that there has been a certain amount of delay in completing the plan because the site for the Memorial is not vet ready.
The site finally approved is at the Port Moresby end of a large area of lowlying ground, on the harbour foreshore between the port and Konedobu. This area is being filled in to make a large playing ground and gardens.
Good progress has been made with this work and the Administration now is preparing the place where the IVlemorial will be erected. The Memorial is to be a fountain, with a suitable inscription thereon. As soon as the. site is suitably com pleted and the ground settled down, the Committee will proceed with the erection of the fountain. It has in hand, for this work, a sum of £3,211.
