REPARATION ESTATES
POSITION OF MANAGER MANY APPLICATIONS Hundreds of applications from all over the world have been received by. the Government for the position of general manager of the New Zealand Reparation Estates, Western Samoa. Applications closed yesterday, but it will be some time before the announcement of an appointment is made. A good percentage of New Zealanders have applied for the position, which carries a salary of £lOOO a year. The Reparation Estates comprise an area of approximately 100,000 acres, representing mainly former German-own-ed properties in Samoa, which the New Zealand Government took over as part of its share of war reparations due by Germany. In November. 1928, the control and management of the estates were the subject of a searching investigation by the New Zealand Departmental Committee which inquired into administrative affairs in the territory generally, and many suggested Improvements were outlined in the report subsequently presented to the Government. The decision to appoint a general manager for the estates was one result of the committee’s recommendations.
