• ASSOCIATED 9 9 PRESS 9 9 DISPATCHES 9 ; VOLUME XXIV NOW IS 'TIME FOR ns TO HD HOTEL COMMITTEE Committee Charged Raising Funds For Building Ready to Sell 'Stock to Any Per son in the City. AMOUNT ABOUT HALF SECURED Committee Anxious to Com plete .Sale of Stock This I Week So Final Plans for' Building Can Be Made. i i The committee charged with the work ; of Helling stock in the new hotel for [ Concord hopes to complete its work this | week. Whether or not it will be able to do this depends upon the people of the I city. If they subscribe to the stock, and I thus show an interest in the Yvelfnre of their city, the work can easily be finish ed during the next six days. One member of the committee stated this morning that about half of the amount needed hnd heen raised so far. He was optimistic hut at the same time cautious for fear the people of the city did not understand the situation anil would not give the proposition the sup port it' deserves. •;The proposition is no gamble," he pointed out, "The principal invested is backed by a building that can easily take care of it at any time and the in terest is guaranteed at about (l per cent, nnnually. In addition to the financial side of the question there is the civic side to be considered. "Concord reeds a hotel more than any other one thing. It seems |>eenliar that persons who/ have money invested in Concord do not realize that a good hotel will enhance their property quicker than anything else. The city is getting a black eye because of its lack of hotel facilities and this hurts business in the city." The stock books are now open and persons who want to subscribe or who want to discuss the proposition are ask ed to call L. D. Coltrane, I* M. Rich mond, C. W. Swink. A. F. Hartsell, T. H. Webb, .1. A. Cannon and C. B. Wag oner. Pinal plans for the building are being ;)>rmm»nd »*.*.: by thcmrliiteel. The-ptr- • t uref of the proposed building, on exhibit at the Gibson Druk Store, very cleari.V ■ shows the general design of the structure but the building will not be exactly like the picture. It will be about 30 feet longer than the original plans, from which the picture was made, but tlie gen eral outside fiuish will be the same. The buifding will have 100 roomx.'each with an outside exposure, und will cost ■ about $300,000. The proposition is squarely up to the I people of Concord. Many of those who | lujve been doing the loudest talking about 1 no hotel facilities here are among the first to refuse to take stock in the com-1 pany, one canvassed stated. They npnr cutty have an idea that the hotel will spring up as if by magie and they can sit back and reap the rewards.
