New Hotel at Saginaw City.

The Saginaw City Herald OF Febru-
airy Is gave an account of new ho-
tel about to be erected in that city,
over which it was very naturally
somewhat jubilant. We copy por-
ton of the article:
The hotel is to be built of pressed
brick, and finished in the most elabo-
rate style it will be 10 feet front on
Court street, and 10 feet front on
Hamilton street, with 81 feet eleva-
ton; it will embrace the Banking
House Of G. J.. Burrows, the front OF
which will be so altered as to cores
pond with the front of the hotel, the
whole being four stories high. Front
ing on Court street, adjoining the
bank will be the office, 22x50 feet ;
fronting on Court and Hamilton sts.,
is a reading room 22x32 feet, which
is separated from the Office by a spa
cious hall. The reading room is set
back 5 feet from the main front and a
verandah of that width fronts it on
both streets. = A telegraph office is to
be fitted up fronting on Hamilton St,
and separated from the reading room
by a hall which opens on that street
adjoining the telegraph office is the
dining room, .25x62 feet. There are
four main halls 10 feet in length
and 8 feet wide the hall on the frs
floor opens on Court street, with dou'
BILE doors, and by means of cross
hall.aG..tJn WIN all the T0ffices ant
parlors on the first floor. The hall
upon the second and third floors oper
upon Court street, and are supplied
with verandahs, as upon the frs
floor by means of halls running a
right angles with the main halls
communication is furnished with al
parts of the building. There are t.
be % suits of rooms, parlors and bed
rooms, and so bed rooms. The hous,
will accommodate without inconven
fence 200 guests.
The expense of the building will
not fall short of $4,000 and vii
probably exceed those figures some
what When completed, it will b
furnished in a style to correspond wit
the building. and with w. Ii. Taylo
officiating as Mine Host, Sagina,
City may safely defy any place Of il
size to excel it in the excellence of il

stood in need of such House, an
we are pleased to know our hopes wi
not long be deferred.
