The Newtown bee., 1890-02-28

ciety of the working girls society of New York, at the head of which is the daugh- ter of Bishop Potter of New York. The hotel, which is to be entirely of wood, IS in the competent hands of Gould Bros. of John street, who are to have it ready for occupation by June I. The founda- tion is already prepared by Port Jetfer- son parties and George A. Gould will su- pervise the building, for which a large gang of men, probably from Port Jefier- son, will be employed. The hotel is to be 113x55 feet, two and half storles high, with cool veranda, 10 feet wide, around it. On the first floor, besides hall 20x40, will be ample dining and oth- CT rooms and three bedrooms; the sec ond floor will contain seven bedrooms. They are all large, 16x20 feet, mostly and are to accommodate five or six girls each. The interior will be finished in white pine, neat and attractive but not expensive and all equipments will be ser viceable and substantial, if not costly. r. Garvey has the contract for the mason work; little plumbing will be required. The cost of the entire building will be, probably, $12, 1000; Gould Bros.' contract calls for $SO0O. The hotel, which will be opened only during the Summer,is for the benefit of working girls who desire vacation in the country, yet are unable to pay their way. The managers of the society have, it is said, completed ar leland raiI- road to transport the girls for one cent mile to Port Jefferson; from there to Miller>s Place is a short distance, easily walked, if no conveyance is desired. There is also boat landing at Miller's. The girls are to be charged only $2 week for board and lodging, but are al- lowed to remain only fortnight. The hotel will accommodate between 50 and GO guests and will be supported by char ity, if the receipts are not sufficient to pay expenses.
