Mr. Robinson stated that com plete plans and specification# tor the hotel would be preps ml In the next few weeks, and contract for construction probably would be let shortly after August 1.

The United Statos treasury is all smiles. Joseph Caillaux Is France's finance minister again. Secretary j Mellon and Minister Caillaux i speak the same language. j One speaks Kngllsh and the oth er speaks French, to be sure, but 'they get together on the financial language. Insumuch as they have extremely Important financial bus iness to transact- the French war debt ? it Is of the utmost im portance for them to understand each other fully. M. Caillaux, it will be recalled, was In this country some months ago in connection with the war debt and he and Secretary Mellon got on together admirably. The agreement they reached failed to hold water. It is true, but that was due to outside influences. So far as those two were concerned. | they could have come to terms. ! Both, practical financiers, each1 ! gets the other's viewpoint. ? ? " ? ! The difficulty In conducting a j financial negotiation between two i such men as Secretary Melloa and, I for example, Henri Berenger, the | I French ambassador, lies in the , fact that the former Is a profcB islonal financier, the latter otly an < amateur. j The one's angle Is that if a ban i ker. The other's Is that of a the- I jorlat. United States secretaries of the i (treasury generally are theoretical financiers, too. but It happens' 'that the present one is personally i jin the financial business ? or, I I throughout most of his life, al- i ' ways has been. i The same Is true .if M. Caillaux. I I Caillaux is not a rich rusn. as . riches are reckoned in America, j That la, he is no sue* plutocrat as a Rockefeller, u Ford *\r a Mellon. | Nevertheless, for France, and In deed, for Europe, he Is very rich. ' the four architects who were un-' der consideration when Mr. Stod dart was selected WedneadSy f night. These four had been se- ; lected from the 15 who originally submitted tentative plans for the hotel. The members of the rommlttee j are W. J. Woodley, Sr.. W. T , Love, Sr., W. G. C.aithrr, J Wcs- ' ley Foreman and Mr. Hoblnson. They Inspected hotels built by all four architects before selecting | Mr. Stoddart, Mr. Hoblnson Mated, adding that the board was exer cising every economy commensur- 1 ale with giving the city the finest hotel which could be built with' | the funds In hand. lias Designed Mam Motrin I "In choosing Mr. Stoddart, wo feel thst we have obtained the ser vices of one of the best hotel ar chitects In America." Mr. Hobln son stated. "He has designed 30-odd of the finest hotels In the country, among them the new Flat tery Park and George Vanderbilt hotels In Ash?villo; the Sheraton. In High Point; the Hotel Char lotte. In Charlotte, the new Hotel , Concord. In Concord; the widely i famed O. Henry Hotel. In Greens boro, and the new Onldsboro ho tel. He alao was associate archi tect In tho construction of the handsome Sir Walter Hotel. In Ha lelgh." In order that construction of : the Virginia Dare Hotel proceed without Impediment. Mr. Kobln- | son urges that all stockholders make their payments promptly, as they fall duo. An Idea of the magnitude of the hotel Inveatmcnt here msy lie gained from the following flfture* The site of th? hotel proper will coat 926.000, exclusive of thrt afirade. The cost of the bidding will run from 9290,000 to 9300. 000, also leaving out the arcade and garage. Furnlahlngs wl'l tc- j count for another 950.000 to 15.1. 000, making the entire Investment approximately 9375,000. A Half Mltlbm Venture To this may bo added 975.090 to 9100,000 for the Main street arcade and the Polndexter street garage entrance, which probablt will be financed sepsrately, bu\ which must bo considered as m part of the hotel project. This will bring the total Investment In ihe new Virginia Dare up to close to half s million dollars. As Justifying such sn Invest ment. It Is explained that nowhere else In Northoastern Carolina can such a hotel be expected reason ably within a generation. Rcllpa Ing all others In the section in ap I polntm??nta and service, both from an Investment standpoint and as a means of heralding to the world that Rllsaheth City la a wide awake and progreealve community \ It la anticipated that the Virginia Dare Hotel will Juatlfy many times over any personal sacrifice* which thoae among Ita 900 stock* holders may hare to make In meeting the payigqata on their stoeh during the ahead.

Prof. Saunders was true to his conviction and gentlemanly atti tude toward others who held a different view than his own. by not throwing sarcasm and little ness on the listeners who hold very different opinions on the question. I think he won the ad miration of all who differed with him In this respect. Prof. Saun ders is not an Intolerant sort of fellow. After all. the man that ran havn that truthfully said about him In living the thing we all need to know and prartlco. We long to see more of It every- 1 where."

And whether Governor McLean is enthusiastic or not. the people of the State can well point with pride at the condition of the I State's f Ilia lit es. For d?**plte the i fact that Hit- administration frowns upon any talk of tax re duction*. because it is ma lilt. tilled that the first fiscal year Ih not an accurate indication <?f the flnaii cial affairs of t hp State at the end of the hietinium on July 1st 192", lt U undoubtedly u good augury and an Indication that a similar balance may exist at that time. When the books of the Depart ment of Revenue were officially closed for the fiscal year extending from July I. 1925 to July 1st 1926, total collect Ions of $11,1 96.hn9.37 were shown, which In $304.809.37 In excess of the collections for this fiscal year a? estimated iu the budget. which was $10.892.000.

It will probably he ten or 15 days before all of these items are In. but ladicat ions arc that the income from these sources wtll exceed tin' cnt Imu I e of $1 .553.500 as fixed In Hie budget. More than $500. ono of this sur plus Is the result of out and out savings in the administration of the various Stale departments and of the affairs of ihi- Stale as a whole. The 5 i??r cent reduction '?i the appropriations for all state depart me, ordered by the Direc tor of Ihe Budget for the fiscal year juHt closing. but wlih-li will not operate In the fiscal year be ginning tomorrow, resulted Iu a saving of approximately $375.000. Then there Is u balance left in Ihe ronlliigeut and emergency appro* print Ion of approximately $175. 000. These two Items alum- total $545.000, Iu addition there Is a Having of approximately $195.000 due to Ihe fact thai Ihe State paid out not a cent of luterest on money borrowed for running expense* in this present fiscal year, ns this sum Is about what has generally been expended In IntereMt on short time loans. There are In addition numerous savings that have re sulted from careful administration of departments and Stale institu tions which ns yet have not been estimated, hut which are never theless known to exist, ho thai Ihe savings alone will undoubtedly amount to more than $700,000. The intimated expenditures for tills fiscal year as mnde a yeiir ago In the budget amounted to $12, 9 83,67*. This wa? reduced some what, of course, by the 5 per cent reduction in appropriat Ions for va rious departments, though this re duction did not effect bonds and contractu, naturally. And although It Is not yet known definitely wh'af the expenditures have amounted to. It Is not expected that * hey will exceed $11.200.000. while It may he less than that. Saying then, that the oxpendit u res will amount to $12.200.000. and the total revenue for the fiscal year Just closing as $12,730.309.37 and It may be more then add the $640.000 savings t h h t have ai crued, and the total Is $13.370.37 i ? resenting the revenue plus the navlngs for fhe fiscal year of 1925-26.
