Territory’s Tidiest

Town

All the gutters of all the streets in the pretty little town of Goroka, in the New Guinea Highlands, are being finished off in this way with small boulders, brought from the nearby rivers.

Water which comes in by gravitation from the surround ing hills —flows through practic ally every street. Where culverts are needed, discarded petrol drums are used, as shown in the picture.

In these ways, avoiding the crippling cost of inwards air borne cement, the District Com missioner of this pleasant country has produced clean, tidy streets—alongside which newly planted trees now are growing luxuriantly.
