For Lautoka

Sir Hugh Ragg, managing director of Northern Hotels Ltd of Fiji made a surprise an nouncement on October 26 that his company had made applica tion for a licence to establish a second hotel in Lautoka To cost £BO,OOO to £lOO,OOO and to be named Namoli Hotel, the

two-storey 26-bedroom, 40-bed

building will be erected at the corner of Drasa and Namoli Avenues and should be ready for use by the last quarter of 1960.

It will be a modern tropical tourist-type hotel—“not just a pub’’—and it will have plenty of car-parking space.

The court hearing for the application for a licence was to take place on November 24. As soon as this is granted the job will be put in hand.
