THE HOTEL PROJECT.


Messrs. Caswell and Burbridge of the
hotel soliciting committee were hard at
work again yesterday, and when they
closed their labors for the day Sl03 900
of the Sll3, 900 necessary to buy
the site had been secured. Mr..
Caswell received letter from Burnham
& Root yesterday, one sentence of which
read: "Ws are ready TO go ahead with
the hotel when you give the word the
amount has been rsised.'' The SOB, 900
subscribed has been given by 100 per-
sons, and it is hoped others
will now assist and raise the amount
necessary, and not let the project fail.
IL is not thought that any money will be
called for inside of three months. A let
ter was received by Mr.. 7. j. Hurley
yesterday from Mr.. Studebaker i'll
South Bend, Ind, TO the effect
that the city was in the
throes of hotel-scuriug effort, which
shows that old cities see the necessity of
such enterprises. The hotel proposed to
be built in Fort Worth by Burnham n
Root will be the best in the United
States south of Chicago, with but few
exceptions. When the Kimbali house was
first built in Atlanta the citizens gave
SIS 600 to get it, and when it burned
down they gave $500, 200 to have it re-
built. The amount already raised by
the people of Fort Worth is large, and
they have done we'll, but it will
be necessary TO do little more TO secure
the prize. Meet the committee half way
to-day, and enable THE GAzETTE TO an
frt1
amount has been raised.
