 hotel by running iron rods through 1t. sug.
 gcstion was made to The Register man which we think worthy of careful consideration. it i was ta build an "f1 ta tho main building at
 the west end which would serve as brace to
 the wall. Continuing, the gentleman thought
 the stockholders of the hotel would consult ' their best interests by dcyoting year
 rental to the improvement of the property and grounds. There Is room enough betwccn tho
 hotel and Washington street for small park which could be made n thing of beauty. if

 | The citizens of this city must see the
 advantages and pleasure such improve

 esteemed contemporary would bring
