First Census Soon
The first census ever held in the New Hebrides may take place soon as a result of a motion presented at the eighth session of the territory's Advisory Council.
The motion was drawn up by Mr.
J. Villemot and was signed by all members of the Council after Mr.
Villemot presented a paper outlin ing proposals for the economic de velopment of the Condominium.
The general feeling was that plans for economic and social development would be unrealistic if a census was not held first.
The estimated population of the New Hebrides at the end of 1960 was 60,374.
