Mr.. Doyle of the American House is
agitating the matter of getting up a
stock company for the purchase of the
hotel of Mr.. Orne. 1t is proposed to add
Mansard roof, build large ell and put
it in condition to accommodate much
larger number of guests. Mr.. Doyle
would rent the house for term of years
at such price as to pay good interest
on the property. A large number of
boarders could easily be obtained for the
summer. Both hotels have applications
from summer boarders much larger than
they can fill. Some means ought to be
taken to make room for all who would
apply for homes here in the summer sea-
son.
