NEW HOTEL PROJECT
AWAKENS INTEREST
Barre People Discuss Proposal in En-
thusiastic Manner--Law Covering
Exemption Is Printed for the
Guidance of the Voters.

Yesterdays announcement Of tentative
plans for long-lookedfor hotel in Barre
was received with good deal OF salts
faction on the part of many people, and
if sentiment rife on the streets to-day
is any criterion of the sentiment that
is to guide voters at the polls one week
from tonight, there win be a majority
in favor Of exempting the proposed new
hosiery for period Of five years.
The reception which awaited the an
nouncement that plans were in the max
ing for new hotel was scarcely less
enthusiastic than that which followed
the completion Of fund for new hos
pital only few weeks since. While the
functions of the two are widely differ.
ent, there has been feeling all along
that there is a crying need for more ho-
tel accommodations here. Every now
and then this feeling is stimulated by
the remarks of travelling men, business
visitors from outside and host of 9th
ers, who deplore the lack OF more ac-
commodations in Barre. A multitude of
reasons why the hotel project should 60
through are advanced by those who have
only a civic interest in it.
From authentic sources it is learned
that exemption from taxation for the
period stated in the announcement is
absolutely essential. To the extent Of
$4,000, the men back of the hotel moye-
ment are willing to express their faith
in the future OF Barre. Beyond that,
they take the stand that the citizens
can, by their votes, decide whether the
project is finally to be realized. With
out any qualification whatsoever, it is
stated that the success or failure Of the
hotel project hinges on the .erdict of
the voters at the special city meeting
April "a. Without the required exemp-
tion, the movement may die aborning.
just as surely as it will succeed if the
city lends its aid in this small way.
1t should be borne in mind that the
incorporators of the Barre Hotel com
pany are pot asking the city of Barre
for single dollar over and above the
exemption. When it il remembered that
outside capital il wont to demand a bo-
nus, oftentimes Of many thousand dol
lars. OF cities where it intends to erect
hotels, the requests Of the incorporators
are considered wholly iustifable.
