A large hotel building near the busi-
ness center OF Saiina has been agitated
more or less for some time. One plan
thought Of Is to organize a new build

loaned out on the usual money loan
ing plan Of 80. 90 or 90 days until per
haps two years have passed away,
aud then concentrate the aeeumula-
lions for building the hotel. In this
way the burdens Of the stock owners
could be made light. and they would
fiually realize all they bad paid oul,
