In Tung Shan District, It is too early as yet to give even a rough idon of the building, but there will be about fifty guest rooms in addition to the usual public rooms. Each room will have its own bath and sanitary conveniences, and the utmost pri vacy and comfort will be assured. The problem of providing accom modailon for small famies is alap being borne in mind.
The site for this new hotel is in the Tong Shan district, just off the main rond to this area, within easy reach of the city, yet suffici ently far removed na to be beyond reach of the bustle and hustle of the crowd.

These houses will be close proximity to the hotel.. Prominent interests of both Canton and Macao are the princi- pal movers behind the scheme.~ i Canton Gazette.
