Many Ell Pasoans are plsnning cot

cost is entailed in the erection of a cot

NOVEL PLANS
FOR 4 NEW
HOTEL
The Proposition to Build on
Ell Paso Street on the San
Antonio Corner.
EVERY ROOM AN
OUTSIDE ROOM

Should the site which has been Of
fered to the building committee Of the
chamber of commerce by George Look,
z. T. White and other property owners
on Ell Paso and West San Antonio
streets, be accepted, the hotel which
would be erected there would be a
unique structure in the history of hotel
building.
According to the plan proposed by
those interested in the site, the hotel
side room, with north and south expo
sure and with q battery of elevators
which would give almost instantaneous
access to every part of the proposed 10
story building.
The lobby of the hotel, according to
the proposed plans, would open on
West San Antonio street and also on
Ell Paso street. On the San Antonio
street elevation there would be wide
porch as an offset from the street line,
with supporting columns of concrete.
and a lounging porch for the guests.
The main lobby would occupy the
center of the building. thanked on the
west by a carriage approach and with
storerooms occupying the remainder of
the ground floor. These storerooms
would extend back the full 73 feet depth
OF the site. with the carriage driveway
running from San Antonio to Overland
street The floors above the first wouls'
be but SO feet deep by ga feet long.
giving a row Of 20 foot rooms singly
and in suites, with a 10 foot hall run
ming down the center. This would
give each room in the entire hotel an
outside exposure, the rooms on the
south being preferable for winter and
the ones on the north for summer.
Sufficient room would be provided in
the ground plan Of the structure for q
large dining room in the basement, with
the elevators extending TO the basement
floor. The FL Paso street entrance
would be thanked by two storerooms
having glass display cases the full
length of the street to the main lobby.
while the lobby would be provided for
a barber shop, cigar stand and other
hotel conveniences.

of 81 and $40 cents per square yard,
this roadway was built by the county,
according TO figures furnished by the
county road engineer This is less than
half the cost of street paving, yet 1t is
said to give q surface which Is ideal
in its wearing qualities as well as in
smoothness and finish. The possibilities
for the use of these specifications for
road making within the city limits are
great, as 1t would then be possible for
property the value of which would not
allow of expensive paving, to be paved
with the same materials as used on the
smelter road at a minimum cost
The specifications for making this
road are not patented and can be used
by any contractor, making it possible
to furnish the paving at an even small
er figure where large contracts were
entered into with the property owners.

Cloudcroft is having boom just now
and the town above the clouds promises
to have number of new buildings this
season
Things have been happening rapidly
for Cloudcroft this week. The plans for
the 100000 hotel, to be built on Scenic
point, overlooking the mountain val
leys, are now being hidden on by the
local contractors. Work will start on
this as soon as the frost is out of the
ground, and, while it will not be ready
for the summer guests this season, the
fact that it is to be built is an as sur
ance that Cloudcroft is to be perpetual
ed. The work will be in progress dur
ing the summer and it will give num-
Der of families an opportunity to spend
the summer in the mountains while the
men are employed on the structure.
Children's SanatoriHm.
Another big project for the Croft is
the erection of a babies sanatorium to
care for the little ones who are taken
to the mountains suffering from the
diseases which make their first three
summers the critical time in their little
lives. Public spirited men, many Of
whom have had children saved by the
pure, piney air and cool climate of
Cloudcroft, are planning the sanatorium
and it is expected to have 1t built in
time to occupy this season.
Open To All.
The sanatorium will be open to
every one having children in need of
medical attentions and free clinic and

Piece Of Construction
and Example Of What the City Might Do In Sec
tons Where BituIihic Is Too Expensive.

Dividing this s16.35S.5O by 27,271.
the number of square yards embraced
in this piece OF road work, gives 81 S-1G
cents per square yard as the cost for
construction. The details as to the
manner of construction of this road
may be found in the plans and specifi-
cations on file in the county clerks Of
flee. Roughly speaking, the principle
Of construction is as follows:
How 1t Is Made
and a half to two and a half inches
in diameter. is spread and rolled Il.
shape On top Of this is spread and
rolled a two inch layer of smaller rock,
from threeeighths to one and half
inches in diameter Over this is then
poured about Is pounds of hot asphalt
TO the square yard. On top of this Is
then spread an inch of screenings, a
small rock about the size of pea, and
while it is all still hot, 10 ton role
passes over II, mashes the screenings
down into the asphalt filled voids of
the larger rock, and squeezes the hot
asphalt down into the rock until ii is
all knit into one compact, mass OF rock
and asphalt The penetration of the
asphalt into the rock Is about throo
inches.
There is no need TO say anything
about the Harris Mill-Courchesne road.
1t can speak for itself. 1t is close
to town and anyone interested can get
on a smelter car and see ii in few
minutes
THE construction Of an asphalt ma
cadam road is something OF a mechan-
zeal art Smoothness comes from prac-
tice and experience Parts of the as
been building will have been down two
years this coming June and there
hasn't been 5 cents worth of repair on
any of II since it was built"
