Some Movement At Lost
P. MORESBY, April 26.
AT last, apparently, the town-planners have completed arrangements to allow Lae a new hotel in place of the present institution, which has been run under great difficulties by the well known Territorian Mrs. “Flo” Stewart. It is understood that Mrs. Stewart has for some time been seeking permission to build a new structure.
Tenders have been called for the lease of two blocks of land in the Lae town ship area. The conditions prescribed are that the lessee shall use the land solely for the purpose of conducting a hotel, and that a structure costing not less than £17,500 shall be erected within 12 months from the granting of the lease.
The Acting Secretary for Lands, Mr.
E. Washington, has also announced that sites for other purposes will be made available soon.
