THE HOTEL
COMMITTEE
MADE REPORT
MAY SELECT SHARP PROPOSE
TlON - WILL BE DECIDED ON
TUESDAY AFTERNOON AT THE
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
To the public:

| pOlHltu DN lilt udDlDtT OF commerce
to determine the most feasible site
of the four under consideration for
the erection of hotel in this city,
wish to make the following state
ment:
The committee, after much ardu
Gus labor, succeeded in submitting
to those Interested four sites, a de
sCription of which we endeavored 10
mail to those we thought might be
| financially interested. A call to the
public to a mass meeting at the
! Chambers rooms was made and re-
sponded to at 4:30 yesterday after.
noon at which time and place a con-
siderable discussion was INDUCED in
as to the most practicable proposi-
ton. A committee consisting of w.
b. Johnson, S. A. Apple, Charles Won
Weise and others appeared and stated
that it had raised within a triAe
more than a day thirty-three thousand
uOlldlS VI IHe my llouSdlIu uolidi .
| necessary to comply with the Cruce-
Sharp proposition.
In order that the public may fully
understand the Cruce.Sharp proposi-
tiOn, we state it anew:
1t is proposed by j. c. Sharp Of
Tulsa, Okla, oil operator and a man
| of large financial means, to sell to
corporation to be created for that
purpose a certain lot owned by him
and Ex-Governor Lee Cruce, where
the old skating rink formerly stood,
corner of C and Main streets, seventy
five feet, for twenty thousand dollars
in stock in the corporation, and to
subscribe seventy-tive thousand dol
lars more of stock, provided there is
subscribed by outsiders fifty thousand
dollars in stock. making total b.
Mr.. Sharp and Mr.. Cruce of ninety
five thousand dollars in stock, and
fifty thousand by the public, grand
total of one hundred forty-five thou
sand dollars. Mr.. Sharp has man
who will give one thousand dollars a
month rent for this property.
Charles Won Weise and other neigh
boring property owners come forward
with a subscription of thirty.threc
thousand dollars, and state that they
may reasonably expect of the public
the additional seventeen thousand
dollars, making the fifty thousand
dollars called for.
The committee deems it but fair
to the public in general, and to the
property owners in particular, on any
of the other sites to be heard fully, !
completely, and justly for any kind
of feasible proposition which they
may have to offer therefore, we have
deferred final action until 80 o'clock !
next Tuesday, March 2S, at the Cham. |
Der of Commerce, to hear other mat |
ters or objections to the Sharp propo-
sition. We think the Sharp PROPOSE |
ton the best at this time, and if
the committee selects it, we urge that !
the town support the proposition |
with unabated enthusiasm and sub
stantial interest.

Committee.
The foregoing is a very concise
statement of the committee" said one
of the members last night. "Ardmore
wants a hotel, and the committee has
been working hard for the benefit of
the general public We want harmony
to prevail, but we want a hotel. and
whenever the committee makes its
final decision. we want the people to
stand hitched' on the proposition and
not criticise the committee, which is
acting solely for the upbuilding of
the city"
"The committee" he continued. lis
acting solely for the welfare of the
city, and is not partial to any particu-
lar site. We want the hotel if We
have to build it in corn field, and A.
if it is the right kind of hotel, AMI
rightly managed, there will be no
lack of patronage"
