ASKS $4,000 BONUS
AND HOTEL SITE
Proposition Submitted to Commercial
Club For Building $4,000 Hotel
in This City.

What is considered one of the best
business propositions yinita has ever
had has been presented to the Com
mercial Club by Messrs. s. H. Burt Of
Toledo, O.. and H.. Ryan Of Wichita,
Kans. This proposition is for the erec-
tion and operation of first class hotel
in this city.
The proposition as submitted by
the above named gentlemen is that ii
the city will give them a bonus OF
10000 and a site, they will build a
$4,000 hotel here. These men are
said to be experienced hotel men, and
regard Vinita as an excellent location
for good hotel
The need Of big hotel in this city
is apparent The lack Of such hotel
causes many travelling men to go to
other towns to secure hotel accommo-
dations, The Cobb and Green hotels
are filed to overlooking every night,
and the same is said to be true Of the
other hotels Of the city. This matter
will be taken up at the next meeting
Of the Commercial Club, and 1t is not
improbable that the proposition will
be accepted,
