The petition of Maxwell r. Broth.

the Warm Springs property did not

1T is the intention Of the petitioners,
according TO the petition, 10 build
100000 sanitarium and hotel on the
ground now occupied by the warm
springs sanitarium anu ground Just a
little east Of that: but il is the opinion
Of Mr.. Wood, chairman Of the public
grounds committee, with which the pc
tltlop IS, that the ground on which The
petitioners wish to locate their hotel
aud sanitarinm is one of the most valu.
able properties the city owns and that
IN expenditure of only 100000 is not
ample return to the city for the privi-
lege asked for. Said Mr., Wood. in an
interview Monday evening:
'Ibis ground is one OF the most
valuable Of the city's properties. The
petitioners propose TO spend only
100000, paying the city a rental Of
$500 month. for the privilege of oc.
cupying the ground and using the wa
reTs. n my opinion this is not enough
The city is asked TO virtually give
away this. property, with al its ad.
vantages, for fifty years. for only $500
month. and do not think an expen-
diture of only 100000 is ample return
20 the city. The city ought to demand
an expenditure of at least $500, 600 he.
fore it gives a lease on this property.
