George H. Gross.

George H. Cross was called on as
the dean of the Commercial club
He said three questions we're before
US. First do we want a hotel? If
we do where will it be located and
thirdly the financing of the
scheme. He was convinced that
We do need a new hotel and the
location was right as the scenery
there could not be excelled from
any point. The financial problem is
serious but the agent is going about
and see how bad you really want a
new hotel.
