WaNrED-A HOTEL AND SOME.
ROXY To KEEPIT.

Our neighbor oil the lnteLhge'cEr mas
recently published several very judici-
Gus and we'll timed articles in advocacy
OF the erection, BY private enterprise, OF
40 extensive hotel or summer boarding
house 10 the vicinity OF this city, for
the accommodation Of business men and
their families. The necessity for hous-
es Of this kind has been growing rapid
ly, and the want Of suitable and con-
venient places OF summer resort is felt
more and more keenly year after year.
There are, along the line OF the Nation
al road, East and within ten or twelve
miles of this city, five or six very pleas
ant boarding places, but they sre all
small and, esr ecially during the present
summer, are crowded to their utmost ca
pacity, without affordipg accommodate
ton to one-half of those who would
gladly avail themselves Of the benefits
and pleasures of suburban residence
during the heated term, If an oppor-
tunity were afforded.
OF course, the Weather class OF
our citizens care comparatively little
about the erection Of a suburban hotel.
There are many fashionable and at
tractive places OF summe resort which
are within their reach, and they may
make their choice between the sesrside,
the lakes, the mountains, or the mine"
raj springs. But there is very large
class of people whose means will not
permit their enjoyment Of such expen1
sive pleasure. They mus. find fresh
air and recreation near home or not at
all. To them, the erection OF one or
more boarding houses so near the city
a. TO permit their occupants TO attend
TO business in town during the day and
enjoy the comforts Of couatry lie al
night, will be highly appreciated
blessing.
Accordingly good deal o. popular
interest has beer excited by the sugges-
ton, and the project has received the
usrmest popular approval. What is
now needed is action. A company OF
substantial and reliable men can be
formed and the money necessary for
the erection OF first class hotel can be
obtained, Just as soon IS q man ls
found to lead the enterprise and take
charge OF the establishment. Capital
ists will be slow about investing their
money in the project until they know
something OF the character, expe-
rienc. and capacity OF the person who
i, to be entrusted with its management.
lie ought 10 possess all the varied at
tsinments embraced in the comprehcn
.iYe knowledge Of chow to keep a
hotel" He oIght also 20 be stock
holder in the company himself and TO
be possessed 0! good degree OF BUSH
ness tact. If such man will come
forward now, q company with sufficient
capital can be formed within thirty days
OF this time and the hotel may be ready
for occupancy at the advent Of warm
weather next summer.
We do not choose to discuss here the
nestion OF location. That is 6 matter
Tor the company i.self to determine
when the organization is effected. There
is no lack OF pleasant and accessible
sites in the vicinity Of the city that
would FULLY meet the requirements. On
the bank Of the Ohio river, either above
or below the city; or on the National
road; or on the Ohio side OF the river /;
there are numerous localities easy OF
access. and aflordipg all the advantages
desired, and we doubt not that the ne-
cessary groutds may be obtained for
this purpose upon very liberal terms.
The chief want now is suitable per.
son to take charge OF the project. The
right man will And 10 difficulty 10 maxi
