ak OF new fOteI.-A modern nOtel
to be operated on the European plan
is one OF the big building projects pro-
posed for the coming spring. An option
has been asked on the property at Five
Points corner, the lot that comes FL
most 10 a point between Seventh and
Eighth avenues on the east side of the
street, which belongs 10 the Margraf
estate. and if a sale is cOnSummated
the hotel will be built. No option has
yet been given. A few years ago 4
was thought a modern hotel could not
be made to pay in Moline. Yet the
Manufacturers hotel is constantly fill
ed to its capacity, and the parlors
often are supplied with cots TO accom-
modate late arrivals. Several times 4
forts have been made to secure ground
to the east or the south of the hota
| for an addition or annex, but withou;
success and there seems no possibility
of enlargement.
