ONE WAY TO DO IT.
CORONATION PLAN. LUXURY LINER IN THAMES. £50 A WEEK AND FREE CHAMPAGNE. (Spcci.i).—B.v Air Mail.) LONDON, November 20. Showboat life at £50 a week is planned for 500 wealthy overseas guests during the Coronation festivities. In a liner moored off Tilbury these fortunate people are to have a really good time. The plan originated in the mind of Mr. S. C. Shaha, a young Indian merchant, who is getting financial backing
from a wealthy group of his fellowcountrymen in London. "We propose to charter a liner that will afford accommodation for at least 500 Indian and overseas visitors," said Mr. Shalia.
"The charge of £50 per week will include luxury accommodation, firstclass meals (with one free bottle of champagne per day per guest), free transport in cars between Tilbury and London, and every kind of amusement. There will be dancing to a negro baud, cabaret and theatre shows, a news cinema, and the boat will be equipped with a swimming pool." *
