Committee Holds Meeting and
Gets Down TO Business.
CITIZENS WILL BE INTERVIEW
Hotel Of the First Class 10 the pesidsr.
stum Of Astorians as Well as
the Travelling Public.

A meeting OF the Hotel Committee
was held last evening and @. w
Lounsberry was appointed TO inter.
view the financial interests OF the town
and make an effort to interest them IN
a project that has the best interest OF
all in the city at stake.
The objection has been urged that a
first-class hotel would infringe on the
business of the hotels already running:
also, that 1t would tend TO deplete the
revenues OF the various lodging houses
but this, as shown, In the experience
OF other cities, Is short sighted policy
that needs paternal teaching. A first
class hotel takes It's own risks, the
same as a boarding or rooming house
takes them. and. for the class that
wants tirst-cass hotel. and will ad-
vertise the city because Of one. and no
better advertisers than drummers ex-
list, the first-class hotel Is necessity
and an improvement the far-sighted
men OF the city want TO see established
at the earliest possible moment,
The project. as put forth. has In con-
temptation hotel to cost In the neigh
borhood OF 100000. to be up to date In
all its appointments and such as will
be advertised abroad as place where
those seeking rest domicile during
business, or a place TO stay during the
regattas, etc. is all that can be asked
The matter Of selection of site for
the hotel, 1t is the sense OF the meet
ing, should be left TO those who sub
scribe to the stock OF the concern. II
is not understood that the men who
have "axes to grind" will. In the inter-
est OF the city. forgo the grinding In
order that those who come to the city
may not find a contention instead Of a
hoIel.
In the event of the establishment OF
a first class hosiery, II is certain that
Astoria, instead Of being the jumping
off place" will be known as city
where accommodation TO suit the fas-
tidious can be had.
A number Of the wealthier men OF
the city have already In measure
pledged themselves to contribute to the
purchase of stock In the enterprise.
and the consummation Of the long de-
sired end now seems In sight.
