New Wharf
T op-lev el discussions have been going on in Apia, Western Samoa, about the condition of Apia’s new £Stg.Boo,ooo wharf, which was opened only in March. Representatives of the contractors (the wharf was a joint American and New Zealand venture ) have been visting Apia, accompanied by legal officers.
It is understood an offer has been made to refund some of the con tract price.
The talks centre around the condition of the concrete and the sleeves which surround the wharf piles. More investigations will be made of the concrete below the water at Apia, and possibly at the new wharf at Asau.
