William Camden Hotten

Extract from the Adelaide Advertiser, 1st September 1925

As he has received an appointment in British North Borneo, Mr. W. Hotten, a draftsman on the staff of the South Australian Harbors Board, and a member of the Tod River Board of Enquiry, will sail for that country next Tuesday. Mr. Hotten’s immediate future will be connected with the Eastern Traders’ Company, for whom he will be engineering supervisor and adviser on future operations. This company is a newly-formed Australian venture and it has been granted valuable timber concessions, which comprise an area greater in extent than that of Victoria, in Borneo and the Island of Natuna. The Eastern Traders’ Company intend to export their timber to Australia, and to arrange for reciprocal trade, to provide cargoes for the timber vessels on their return to Borneo. Branches of the company are being established in all States.
