ing weather condition an addition to
the present Building has been planned.
The new building to be erected at south
de OF tide present basement bath buildi
ne th- 2 buildings o te eonre with
Sun Paror of width of 20 f.. The
The present bath equipment will be di-
rectly in connection with the basement
bath equipment OF the new building.
With the new building we can give
more individual treatment and acc M
mediation to the higher class of patron
age demanding it. In other words, it
will not be necessary for US to herd
from sixty to seventy eople a day Ia
common pools as we have had to do all
the buster part of this season.
The new boilding. in addition to the
Sun Parlor, is to have ten rooms on the
first floor and a like number on the
second floor, rooms to be of an average
hotel size and to have running water
and be equipped with clothes closet.
These rooms will be large enough
for2 persons Those of the present
Bath Building are unfortunately large
nough for only one person, and o
not even provide enough room for a
dresser. With these twelve single
rooms IL addition to the twenty dou-
BILE rooms we will have in the new
building will give US quite COM
plete equipment. This. and the en-
larged bath equipment. will, indeed,
within itself, give US quite an insti-
tuition, something which every citizen
of Idaho Springs can refer to with a
just sense of pride
As to the return on the money in
vested the new building offers by the
expending OF an amount Of less than
10000. refer you to the third state :
ment. On this you will uote that the
Tunnel Baths and Room receipts have
been figured at II, s6l 80 double the re-
ceipts from this source for the current
ye1r. A most conservative estimate
The operating expenses for the tunnel
baths and rooms have been figured at
6.024.75 fifty per cent increase over
1918. This is high enough. We have
thus an operating profit from the Tun-
nel baths and rooms Of II, ,837 05 add
ing to this the net operating profits of
the Natatorium and Inn of 8O8.39 and
$4O0 respectively, we have total oper-
ating profit of I3, 045.44. Taking from
this the fixed charges of insurance

a net amount of s,751.74 From
this has be en- deducted the interest on

vested capital; including the interest

To the Board of Directors of
The Hot Springs Hotel Co.

idaho springs, Colo Sept. 2 1913
To the Board of Directors of
The Hot Springs Hotel Co.
l am herewith submitting for your
consideration. three statements of your
Company.
The first statement covers the, initial
year of operation VIII ch closed NOvem-
her 30, 1912. During this first year of
operating there were many difficulties
to overcome. The principal one of
these was the prejudice against the
former management of the Springs
property. This was very strong with
the people of Denver and the people
throughout the state generally who
give US the principal part of our busi-'
ness, which is from October until May.
refer you to the second statement
with considerable pride On this you
Will note that the gross receipts for
the current year will be s., $50, 80 as
compared to so,39O.9s for last year
an increase of 40 per cent. While our
gross receipts have increased so lar ge-
ly it has been possible for us to de-
crease operating expenses. which you
will see by the statement, were 81, 256
so for the preceding year as compared
to $4,O16.5O for 1913
We will this year have a profit
on the Tunnel baths and rooms
of the bath building of 4,914 40
The Natatorium will yield cor
50 nd "gly well in our f vor From
this source we will have a net in
come of $533. SO as against $252.93 for
1912
The net operating profit Of the Tun.
mel Baths, Rooms. Natatorium and Inn
for this year will be 5,655.3,. Deduct
ing from this amount the fixed charges,
insurance, taxes and lease rental, a to-
tai Of $3,222.20. we have a net amount
Of $2,43ls13. Taking from this the in
terest on the outstanding bonds and on
the invested capital I,380.OO gives US
for this year an absolute net profit,
after paying all operating costs, fixed
charges and interest on bonds and all
money invested, of ,051, ,13
will be most pleased to have you
compare this net profit for 1918 to the
loss which we had as a result of the or
erations for the previous year. We
are enjoying most substantial improve
ment from every point of view, consid-
ering that the equipment this year ia
no better than the previous year, the
satisfactory results being entirely due
to more efficient management. 1t IS
safe to say that with no increase is
our equipment and facilities that the
next year would show large increase
In profits over the current year,
In order to accommodate the bath
business which we this year were
forced to turn away by lack of enough
equipment facilities for handling an in
creased business, and in order that we
might have more rooms in direct con-
