BEALEY HOTEL
No Building Plans Yet No decision had been made on the design or size of a proposed new hotel at Bealey, said the proprietor of the previous Bealey Hotel (Mr J. L. Gowie) yesterday. He owned the Glacier Hotel at Bealey, seven miles and a half from the Arthur’s Pass township, which was destroyed by fire about two months ago. Mr Gowie said he had in mind the building of a motelhotel. But before any plans could be made, he first had to receive a financial settlement from an insurance company.
Mr GoWie said that in the meantime he had provided a temporary bar in a garage building across the road from the site of the destroyed hotel. The temporary bar was bigger than the bar in the Glacier Hotel.
Mr Gowie had been licensee of the Glacier Hotel tor five years and a half, and bought it in November. The total loss through fire has been estimated at £lO.OOO.
