months. The directors were much
encouraged with what they learned.
Determined to Build
Public spirit of the type that
counts is responsible for the final de-
cision to-day to proceed with the
construction of the hotel which rep
resents at this time the greatest civic
need of Harrisburg. There have been
many discouraging factors as the
outgrowth of the war decentralization
resulting in excessive prices for ma
terial, but the men who have been
back of the movement from the start
were not to be dissuaded by any ad-
verse circumstance from going ahead
with this important undertaking. 1t
is going to cost much more than
originally estimated by reason of
present-day conditions, but the situa-
tion respecting hotel facilities is so
serious that it was agreed after, a
full discussion of the whole matter
to proceed with the work.
Will BE Credit to State
1t would have been possible, of
course. to erect a cheap and unsat-
isfactory hotel to serve the tempo
rary need, but those back of the
project determined that Harrisburg
is too far on its way to be satisfied
with anything save a modern and
we'll equipped hotel. 1t will be q
building commensurate with the
character and importance of the city
as the seat of government in this
commonwealth. 1t will be necessary
to raise additional funds and the di-
rectors believe that there is sufficient
t..tN -t..t
make IL possible to increase the
amount subscribed so that there may
be erected such a building as will
be credit to the city and the state.
