C, MARCH 20, 1925 1050 YKIII MARSHALL SHOULD HAVE HOTEL riTH SUFFICIENT ACCOMODATION TOURISTS WOULD FLOCK HERE Tobacco Warehouse Makes Need Greater It is no reflection whatsoever on the hotels and boarding houses of Marshall for us to advocate a large new hotel. The table fare at the hotels is fine and people who stop are always pleifeed with the abundance of well cooked food served at these Ef tables. But we understand that even the proprietors of these hotels realize the need of better accommodations in rooms and so forth for tourists and travelling men. Plans have been drawn and a contract drawn up and about $20,000 subscribed toward building a hotel in Marshall. It is proposed to erect a brick structure on the vacant lot next to the Courthouse with 42 bed rooms, one half with bath and one half wihout bath. The blue print now in the hands of Mr. W. II Morrow looks most attractive. A meeting of the business men was recently held with reference to this matter and much en thusiasm aroused, various men promising to subscribe amounts ranging from $500 to $10,000 at least two men agreeing to subscribe $5000 each, and the owner of the lot agreeing to take the entire m-ice of the lot $10,000.00 in stock. This is a matter that should claim the attention of our business men, as such a hotel will not only be a paying investment, but will en hance the value of other property in Marshall and will greatly help to build up Marshall. Especially will It be needed in con nection with the proposed new tobacco warehouse. COMPARATIVE FOR EST FIRE RECORD FOR STATE of NORTH CARO LINA, 19231924. Ina , report recently issued by Ijthe State Forest Service of the I North Carolina Geological and Economic Survey some very in teresting facts are brought out relative to the forest fire pre- the organization, vention and suppression work vent as many fires from start over in the course of the two years in question. The 624 fires m 1923 burned over an area of 206,038 acres as com pared with 199,543 acres burn ed over by 1,291 fires" In 1924 In other words the average size of each fire in 1923 was 330 a- cres, while in 1924 it was 154 4 acres.

Estimating the damage done by forest fires to young growth The total number of fires re-jand mature timber is a difficult ported in the calendar year of matter.
