The crowded condition of the
Springs House last season, and the
probability of active business the
coming season, has led the manage
ment to consider building an annex.
The plan as talked over would be to
put up building large enough to
give about 30 more sleeping rooms.
The ground floor of this building
could be used as an assembly room for
dances, etc. A good bowling alley is
included in the plans. While it is
too late to complete such building
for the coming season, it is quite
within the possibilities for the season
of 1905.
