Beer's On At Boroka

Beer was free in the new Boroko Hotel, Port Moresby, when the establishment opened on January 18. The hotel cost £8O,OOO to build.

So far 20 bedrooms have been completed and another block to accommodate 40 people is going up. A lawn and beer-garden will be added later. As soon as the first bedrooms were

finished, the Administration took them over permanently for female employees—which leaves travellers very much "as you were". The management says accommodation will be avail able for travellers shortly. Our photograph shows some of those who had drinks on the house on January 18.—Photo by Papuan Prints.
