New Hotel Proposed.-A new Manu-
facturers hotel to cost approximately
$500. 900 is being considered. Though
no meeting has been held, directors OF
| the hosteiry have been discussing for
several days the ACCESSIBILITY OF locat-
ing south of the railroad tracks, and
probabilities are that the Deere & Co.
property at the northeast corner Of
| Fifth avenue and Fourteenth street
will be secured as site. The lot has
q frontage of about 80 feet. both on
the street and on the avenue. Direc-
tors OF the hotel, who are also q part
of the Deere organization, have fnttma-
ted their willingness to surrender this
property for a hotel site. The COM
pany's barns are at present located on
the ground. 1t is proposed to erect
building at least six stories high, OF
fireproof construction. and to provide
$50 or 200 guest rooms. The present
hotel at the corner of Third avenue
and Sixteenth street has but 95, guest
| rooms. A ball room main dining room,
private dining room and grill room
| will be features of the new hotel. A
roof garden will also be provided.
Realization that the business district
of the city is destined TO shift to the
south side of the railroad tracks, and
that factory development Is sure to ex-
tend eastward from Fifteenth street
on Second and Third avenues, has
prompted the discussion of new hotel
plans. Plans for the new hotel may be
Ay-o~r oo nd
building operations may be taken up
in 1911. This would permit the open
! ing Of the hostelry about Jan. 1, 1912.
One Of the directors of the hotel asso-
i citation states that the opinion of the
majority of the board members is that
new hotel must be available within
three years at the very latest date.
What disposition will be made of the
present property has not been consid-
cred, but the very reason that makes
| building south of the railroad tracks
| imperative will make abandonment of
the present property for hotel pur
poses a necessity.

three Red Men lodges. King Philip,
