Hotel Question Revived. /.

The following appeared in the Ex-
press and Standard of Sept. 10 and
shows that the hotel question is not
entirely dead. A large part of the
activity in this direction is due to the
efforts of Hon. c. A. Prouty. interstate
commerce commissioner. Public opinion
since the article was printed seemed
to favor the union of a bank building
and hotel on the Brady lot. &C. K.
Whitcher. an architect from Manches-
ter, N. H., was here Monday at the
invitation of the hotel committee, and
met delegation of the citizens in the
7. M. c. A. room to talk over plans
for the erection of new hotel, or the
feasibility of changing over an old
one. The Newport House, the Men,
phremagog lot and the Brady site
were discussed pro and con.
While all favored the Brady site,
provided it could be procured. the
financial side of it inclined toward
the Newport House; that is, if it
could be purchased at the figures
stated, and the new building.over and
extending-out of a new wing did not
cost too much. The decision of the
meeting seemed to be this: That the
place demanded more for a larger

tourists and something had got to be
done. That sum not to exceed one
hundred thousand dollars, and under
if possible, should be settled upon,
and to keep within those bounds.
That the Brady site was the spot to
build upon. but if it could not be
purchased for the purpose, to either
make deal for the Memphremagog
site or the Newport House and start
the movement forward at once. Mr..
Whitcher has already looked the New
port House over, also the Memphre-
magog site, and is ready to submit
plans as soon as the word is given.
There was little talk of a bank
building entering into the deal, and if
the Brady site could be purchased this
might mature and lessen to some
extent the sum to be raised. The
Express and Standard has always
claimed that Mr.. Brady was ready tc
sell that site for hotel and at reason.
