In Fiji

FOURTEEN Government-b ui 11 three-roomed flats in the Suva suburb of Samabula, have been let to Fijian, Indian, Chinese and part-European families. Six more flats will be finished by mid- February.

The Fiji Lands Department has been swamped with applications— many of which have come from people living in cramped conditions in Suva city. They far outnumber the flats available.

In Suva, 12 double units have been built in the Nabua Fijian settle ment, Samabula, making a total of 22 double units built in the last two years. At Lautoka further houses of the cottage type designed by the former Government Architect (Mr.

C. N. Nettleton) will be built this year.
