One of the first committees appoint
ed by the board of trade was a hotel
committee of three, John Koran, Pat |
rick Harty, jr., and DIR. f. l.. Osgood, /
to confer with Mr.. Tureott to see if
he would lease the Inn at a reasonable |
rental, sell it at a price within the
board s ability to pay, or open it and
run it homself. This committee report /
ed that Mr.. Turcott would sell the /
property for $4,000. He did not wish
to open it himself or lease it. The !
board did not feel that it could pay
the price and the matter drifted along
until after Mr.. Segal traded for the
property After one or two attempts
to buy of him. Mr.. Glynn called upon
Henry L. Bowles in Springfield, Mass,
and Mr.. Bowles manifested a willing
ness to help buy the property and Of
fered to give $1,000 for that purpose
or toward erecting a building for pub
lie use if that seemed more desirable
The matter was laid before the board
of trade and they voted unanimously
to buy the hotel if it could be bought
and opened, and Mr.. Glynn was elect
ed a committee of one to confer fur
Their with Mr.. Bowles and to take such
action as seemed to them best, also to
form company to own and operate
the property Mr. Bowles, at the
board s request, bought the mortgage
and Mr.. Glynn went to Boston twice
to buy the equity of Mr.. Segal, but
found it impractieable to do so at his
price and under the injunction pro
ceedings that prevailed.
The next step was to take possession
of the property under the mortgage in
Mr. Bowles s name and to repair and
open the house. A stock company will
be formed under the name of the Sax
| tons River Inn company, as soon as
the title is clear, by the following
men: Henry L. Bowles, DR.. Henry ID.
