Site For New
A SITE for the new Fiji brewery, in the new industrial area near Walu Bay, Suva, is now being cleared, and the erection of the necessary buildings will be com menced shortly.
So far as is known,, the only capital being invested in this new enterprise is being provided by Messrs. W. R. Carpenter & Co. (Fiji) Ltd. It is presumed that a new Company will be formed to own and operate the new brewery, but there has been no registration yet.
Provided that there are no dif ficulties on the technical side, to in fluence the quality and flavour of the beer, this industry should do well in Fiji. There is a steady natural increase in the Fijian, Indian and part-European com munities, and all three are steady beer-drinkers. t The Rev. Robert Porter has been appointed Archdeacon of Ballarat, Vic. He was formerly of the Anglican Mission in Papua, and fol lowing the Mt. Lamington eruption was awarded the OBE for his work amongst the survivors.
