take care of their own skins.
"Quite a large number of the
clergy have losit their Ihnes in

"I don't support conscription,
but we must keep it in force tm-

TO SEE PLAN THRU
Last night a goodly number of
local business men gathered in
the Mayor's Office for the pur
pose of discussing the need of; a
new hotel and many remarks
were made by those present all
tending to show the great need
of an up-to-date hostelry.
An architect had made a pre
liminary survey of the old hotel
building and interior and stated
that the outside walls and much
of the heavy timbers were; good
enough to use and that a new
building could be put up on the
old site at less cost than an en
tirely new building and be more
substantial.
By resolution a committee
was appointed to se Mr.-- J. E.
Bowers to find out what priee
he asked for the old building
and site. Upon returning the
committee stated that Mr. Bow
ers set a price of $12,000 for the
present property and $2,000 ex
tra for the two lots adjoining on
Main Street, part of the Woods
property, which could go with
the hotel, if desired the size of
lot 150 feet square. A resolu
tion passed unanimously it was
determined to accept this pro
position for the sum of $14,000.
It was further stated that the
financing of the deal could be
done through the Home -Build
ing and Loan Association so
that it would take no capital
sum from anyone, merely the
monthly dues to the building
loan.
The total sum necessary to
purchase the present proprry,
rebuild and refurnish will be ap
proximately $42,000 which a gen
eral committee was appointed
to divide among the citizenship
and attached to this committee
is a subscription committal 'of
ten local men whose names will
be selected by the chairman and
announced later.
It was made evident that no
time is to be lost in completing
the matter so that th-Ps town
shall not be left long without
a suitable hotel.
