For Vila, At Last
The Superintendent of Public Works in the New Hebrides Condominium Government, Mr.
J. Monteil, has been appointed Vila’s first harbourmaster.
Mr. Monteil’s duties already include the supervision of the Condominium airfields.
His appointment as harbour master follows criticism in a judgment given in Vila several months ago by Mr. Justice Trainor, in the High Court of the Western Pacific, that Vila had no pilot nor harbour master “in spite of legislation enacted seven years ago estab lishing these posts” (PIM, Feb., p. 103).
The number of overseas ships calling at Vila each year is about 150.
