(From Our Own Correspondent) VIEW Caledonia’s big Yate River dam project (May, PIM) will ' be financed by the French Government’s colonial development organisation (FIDES), said the Governor (M. Rene Hoffherr) when he returned to Noumea from Paris in May.
The Yate hydroelectricity scheme is linked with the modernisation of the nickel smelters at Noumea and one of the top Public Works engineers in France will visit the Colony this year to settle the final details.
M. Hoffherr also said that Air France will soon send two planes a month from Paris to Noumea, thus doubling the present service.
