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. Hottens
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.
