Stockholders present at the meeting
of the proposed mems hotel corporation
yesterday afternoon, voted approval of
the charter drawn for the body by w.
r. Castle, and decided that as soon as
the absent signers of the stock list shall |
signify their approval, the papers are
to be filed and the corporation begin |
it's work. An option on the Hopper
property on King street Is now held.
The meeting of yesterday was held at
II o'clock p. m. in the Office of w. r.
Castle, with the following present: T.
Give Davies Robert Levers, W. r.
Castle, j. B. Atherton, Theodore Rich
ards. The first matter taken up for dis
cussion was that of incorporation. The
| lines of the license to be asked were
read and approved. In the absence of
Mr. Wilcox who is one of the largest
subscribers to the stock, 1t was decided
that nothing can be done until there
has been a submission of the details to
the absent subscribers. AS soon as this
approval has been signifed there
will be submitted to the government
the form of the charter asked and if it
is granted there will be an immediate
lpushing of the work.
Mr. Richards submitted new plan
for the hotel which was approved by
those who were present This plan
lprovides for a building which is four
stories in height, with construction
which will permit of two more stories
being added at any time in the future
if the demand for rooms be such that
the increase be deemed necessary. The
structure will be entirely fire proof as
even the partition walls in the interior
are to be of cement upon expanded
metal There is as planned a base
ment which is to be subdivided into
servants rooms and large storage
rooms for trunks and heavy goods.
Along King street the first floor front
will consist of five stores, barber shop
and an entrance to the hotel, which
will have in it the office Running the
entire length of the hotel, from Likelike
to Punchbowl street, at the rear of this
line of stores is an arcade and hallway.
On the Likelike street side is a room
tWenty-fOur feet VIDE by SeVenty-llVe
feet long, which is to be the dining
room, and on the Punchbowl front a
room of the same width, will be used
as billiard room. Tobacco and soda
stands will be at the front ends of these
two rooms and an elevator will be
placed at each of the street entrances.
In the center of the rear space is an
uncovered court forty-five feet square,
which extends to the roof. AT either
side of this is a lanai, on one side for
lounging and the other for dining. Be
hind these open spaces are the baths,
including swimming pool twenty-four
by thirty-sx feet, which is to be filled
from the hotels own we'll and conse-
quently can be drained and cleaned
each night. Provision is made for lock
ers and steam baths.
The three upper floors will be de-
voted to rooms, which will either have
outside air on one of the four sides, or
an opening room upon the central court.
+ These rooms are to be nine by nine feet,
with ceilings of the same nine feet
1t is not the intention to make the
place earn any money, though it is the
depreciation that it will pay all the ex-
penses from the first. Rates will be
made very low and the place will be
neatly furnished in every respect.
