Flood of Overseas Cargo

at Apia Wharf

Prom Our Own Correspondent WITH about 3,400 tons of cargo from England, Europe, Aus . tralla and Fiji, the Wairuna arrived at Apia early in April almost at the same time as the Tofua with another 600 tons.

Apia s limited wharf shed accom modation was all but bursting at the seams, and efficient cargo sorting was impossible.

Insufficient space for storing in coming cargo has been an Apia

complaint for many years T he n .fw Port Advisory Com mittee will investigate the questia of improvements and the buildin of a wharf at which overseas shir can safely berth. £
