Having completed the inspection of one half of Savaii—which occupied about three weeks—we returned to Apia in time for a race-meeting in which the Director of Agriculture was riding. The date of this meeting was October 6, 1923.

On October 5th the following advertisement had appeared in the Samoa Times:

"Welfare League"

"A plan for beautifying the waterfront, starting at the Customs Buildings, is on view at the Survey Office. All citizens are kindly invited to inspect same and to volunteer assistance in carrying out the work; offers will be gratefully received by the sub-committee.

"O. F. Nelson,

"President."
