| Shown here is the governor's residence on Pohnpei. In 1908, Georg Fritz, the newly appointed governor, limited the number of chiefly feasts and imposed a tax on all Pohnpeian males to be paid in labor. Germans, like the Spaniards before them, began a road-building project using Pohnpeian labor. Governor Carl Boeder, who replaced Fritz in 1910, was ordered to enforce this labor tax. |
