NEW CHAPTER ***

J

The recent completion of the alne-province long-distance tele- phone Unes has written a new chapter in the history of this phase of communication develop- ment, Continuing its efforts in this respect the ministry will ex- tend the network of long-distance telephone lines in other provinces

in accordance with a comprehen- sive plan previously laid down.

Meanwhile, steps will be taken to unify the administration of long- distance lines run by the ministry and the provincial government in order to heighten working ef Acency.

As a preliminary step, the new method was experimented in a humber of districts around Nan- chang. From May 1, 1932 to July 31, 1934 altogether 8615 photographs were taken from planes.

The success of the experiment ied the provincial authorities to extend aerial survey on a provin cial-wide scale.- Central News Agency.

No doubt this is largely due to the restrictions imposed on the architect by the materials at his disposal, but It may also be 'zug- gested that he tends to follow a rather conservative policy.

Commercial aviation will be fur- ther developed through the in- auguration of a number of new nutes linking the frontier pro- vinces with the interior, and lead- ing cities. This necessitates the purchase of more planes. Plans for raising the necessary funds are being considered by the minis- try.

For repairing planes and con- | structing plane parts the ministry is also considering the establish- ment of a work-shop for these purposes. (Central News Agency)
