LYNTON PRIVATE HOTEL What is going to happen to the Lynton Private Hotel when Mrs. Ivan Stanton leaves it at the end of this month is a question which is being much discussed these days. Mrs. Stanton, whose- lease expired last month, expects to be leaving the district altogether. A considerable amount has to be spent on the Lynton to bring it up to the Health ’ Department’s specifications and whether that money will be spent and a new propieter found,.or whether the place will be closed, is still a matter for conjecture.
