PETROL FOR THE ISLANDS
Following on the expanding demand for petroleum products in Fiji, Samoa and New Caledonia, the Shell organisation is establishing a chain of bulk petrol depots at Suva, Levuka, Lautoka, Apia and Noumea. The facilities at these places will include kerbside pumps of British manufacture, and with the improved methods of distribution local motorists will be as efficiently served as in New Zealand and Australia. Mr. Arthur Millington, who was for many years engaged in the distribution of petroleum products, machinery ajid steel in New Zealand and Australia, has been appointed to act as the Shell Company’s special representative in the Islands. He was at one time associated with the New Zealand Government Tourist and Commerce Department, and in the Tatter connection acted on occasions as New Zealand Government Agent in Sydney and Melbourne.
The oil in the sump does not remain at maximum usefulness indefinitely, even with the additions made normally from time to time. At intervals recommended by the makers the whole of the lubricant should be drained off and completely replaced.
