p. 10 · Read in the full issue

May Come in 3 Years

PLANS for the modern, 3-storeyed hotel, which Morris. Hedstrom Ltd. pro pose to erect at the corner of Rodney Road and Robertson Street. Suva, Fiji, show that there will be sufficient large! airy rooms, with hot-and-cold water in each, to accommodate 60 persons.

The estimated cost is £lOO,OOO. The company, however, may elect to spend more than that, in which event, the hotel will go to four storeys, and accommodate 90 guests, with additional amenities, such as private bath-rooms.

Materials and tradesmen are as scarce in Fiji as elsewhere. There is little likeli hood of the hotel being completed much inside of three years.
