MELBOURNE CENTENARY.
ACCOMMODATION ARRANGEMENTS. / Answering a rumour regarding excessive tariffs for Melbourne centenary accommodation, a statement has been made by the secretary of the United Licensed Victuallers’ Association.. (Victorian branch) through the Official Accommodation Bureau, 435 Collins Street, Melbourne. The secretary says: “In no instance have I been able to ascertain that any charge greater than 30s per day will operate during the period, and that is the charge which has been agreed upon by leading hotel proprietors. The average minimum for those hotels of a lower grade than the eight major hotels is 13s per day inclusive tariff, and in the cases of the next grade 11s 6d per day. The weekly tariff in the two latter cases is 84s and' 63s respectively.” It is interesting to note that hundreds of private home owners are recording accommodation with the bureau for those who desire the atmosphere of home life. This, makes it practically certain that accommodation will be available for all, provided early booking arrangements are made.
