HOTEL PROPOSITION SEEMS TO
BE ASSURED.

At meeting of the Logan Bust
ness Mems Association held at Macs
Cafe Tuesday evening, Willis Stern
On behalf of the investigating COM
fmittee previously appointed, present
ID very full and complete report OF
che trip made by these men to Deni-
son and Ida Grove to make survey
II the hotels at those places.
At Denison they found the Hotel
Denison too elaborate and ornate fo
he amount of money to be expended
and lacking in several ways of beins
IN ideal plan for Logan to follow.
At Ida Grove the Baxter Hotel, re-
:ently completed and opened, has beer
built more on lines of utility and
struck the committee as being an ad-
nirable building in almost every way,
shere being full value for every dol
ar spent on it.
When our citizens are ready to
build the plans of the Baxter hotel
will probably be used, poss bly, some
what modified to suit local require
ments.-
The investigating committee was
later authorized to secure prices and
terms on number of building sites
adjacent to the business portion OF
our town, with instructions to report
at the next meeting of the associa-
tion, which will be held on Tuesday
evening, January 9Th.
Several short speeches were made
emphasizing the needs of such hote!
here, the speakers pledging their sup
port financially regardless Of where
the building may be located.
A motion was made and carried
that the dues of the association be
placed at $500 per year, to be collect
cd by the secretary and treasurer of
the association, and that an effort be
made to secure the membership of ev-
cry man interested in any way in our
town, an especial invitation being
given to the farmers of this communi-
ty.
It was decided to request the town
council to appoint second night
watchman to patrol the town until
the first of April, more especially to
guard against fires and burglaries
At present the job is almost more
than one man can successfully han
die.
The shortage of the water supply
was commented on, and brought forth
from City Engineer Huff the state
ment that the we'll now in use is not
large enough toss.spply the watess re
quired, and that the engine, pump
and pipe for the new we'll recently
completed is on the ground, but the
sudden cold weather prevented it
from being placed on a concrete base
and connected up. It is hoped to do
this soon.
From present appearances there is
little doubt but that early in the
spring work will be commenced or
the new hotel building, which when
completed will be continual adver-
tisement for the town of Logan
Democrat.
