CABINET NOTES: The Cabinet spent considerable time discussing the roadways that are to be repaired by the Public Works and private contractors, utilizing the $100 million loan that will be repaid utilizing the new user-fee, recently imposed.

A list of roadways will be published by the Ministry of Works with expected dates of commencement and completion; it will list their order of priority as agreed by the Cabinet.

The Cabinet agreed that not all roads can be repaired with the $100 million; hence, as more contributions from the user fee are collected, additional roads will be added for upgrades and repairs.

The works are to be coordinated with the APUA Water and Electricity Divisions so that new pipes can be laid where old pipes are leaking and are wasting the precious commodity, which is very costly to produce.
