AIR MAILS.
ENGLAND TO AUSTRALIA. TERMINAL IN SYDNEY. United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright. CANBERRA, August 3. The Federal Cabinet, after lengthy consideration, has decided to establish an overseas air mail terminal at Rose Bay, inside the harbour. It is to be ready for the inauguration of the flying-boat service in .January. The base eventually will be in Botany Bay, which is expected to become a huge airport accommodating both land and water machines in the vicinity of Mascot. Only passengers and mails will be handled at Rose Bay. Repairs will be carried out elsewhere. The Cabinet’s decision has been greatly delayed and hampered by the' hostility of citizens of the Rose Bay area, who raised all manner of objections to the terminal being in their district, which contains fine homes and residential flats.
