p. 141 · Read in the full issue
Following public criticism of the power of the Fiji Police Commissioner (Mr. R. H. T.
Beaumont) in the control of lotteries, the Legislative Council has agreed in principle that the law should be revised.
The proposed new law will probably define and control the authority for issuing lottery permits, and that the issue should reflect more accurately public sentiment towards lotteries. t Damage estimated at £B,OOO was caused by a fire which destroyed a Shell Co. building at Vuda, near Nadi, in Fiji, last month.
