Planned at Suva
(From Our Own Correspondent) SOON after the opening of the new cigarette factory at Walu Bay, Suva, the Indian firm of G. B. Hari and Co. announced plans for a clothing factory in the same industrial area.
The three-storeyed building will have a total floor space of 12,250 square feet, and the factory will employ 135 operatives, apart from administrative and warehouse staff.
It is hoped that the building will
be completed in August.
The clothing output will be for local consumption and for export to other Island groups. tl Mr. T. A. Handford, formerly Assistant Superintendent of Police, Gold Coast, is now Superintendent of Police and Prisons, British Solomons, in succession to Mr.
E. J. H. Colchester-Wemyss, who has been transferred to the Bahamas. tl Mr. D’Arcy Ryan, working under the auspices of Sydney University, has returned to Mendi, Central Highlands of New Guinea, for a further year of research.
