Work on CI Reef Passages
MR. W. H. RYAN, Superintendent of Works, Rarotonga, returned from the northern Cook Islands in early May after carrying out demolition work on some of the reef passages.
Rocks were cleared from the channels at Palmerston Island, Manihiki, and Pukapuka. The operations at Tukao landing, Mani hiki, were reported as being most successful, but there was insufficient time for Mr. Ryan to make a survey of the work done at Pukapuka be fore returning to Rarotonga.
The standard Naval depth charges
that were used completely pulverised the coral rocks. Mr. Ryan will carry out further work on Cl reef passages in the near future, and a big work programme is planned for the passages at Mangaia.— W.H.P. t Transports A e r i e n s Inter continentaux has announced that two commercial flights from Noumea to Tahiti by DC4 will be undertaken, one on May 25 and the other June 8.
