Enter Their Protest Against Govern
Inent Transforming Hotel Colorado
Int Hospital For Insane
LEAVE NO CHANCE FOR DOUBT

as our people have no quarrel with Mr..
Lseas and Mr.. Hughes because they
have offered their property for sale.
Their objection is to the government
because Of threatened use or appar-
emily the intention of the government
to use the property for purpose which
the citizens believe would be detrimen-
tai to their interests. That is the real
meat Of the matter and that is the sole
basis of the objection voiced by our
people in the telegraphic protest.
Monday Ollie Thorson, in answer to a
telegraphic inquiry, received the fol-
lowing message from Senator Phipps:
Washington, D. c.,

Glenwood Springs, Colorado,
September 16, 1912.
Whereas, We, the citizens Of Glen
wood Springs, in mass meeting assem-
bled, believing that the use of the
Hotel Colorado and grounds as hos
pital for the insane would be a great
detriment to the city, because the ho-
tel and grounds are situated in the
heart Of the city, and would have tine
effect of keeping away people seeking
homes for the purpose of educating
their children, or engaging in business,
and taking away from the residents
and people generally their pricipal
place of recreation: Now, Therefore, Be
it Resolved, That it is the sense of this
needing that the use of the Hotel Colo-
RADIO and grounds as hospital for the
insane be hereby most emphatically
condemned, and that we respectfully
request that the government do not
permit the use of this property as u
hospital for the insane.
Be it Further Resolved, That the
secretary Of the treasury, Carter Glass,
First Assistant Treasurer James H.
Noyle, Major General Rupert Blue,
Senators Phipps and Thomas and Rep
Edward T. Taylor be fur
nished . copy Of these resolutions
signed by the chairman and secretary
Of this meeting.
This represents . vote Of eight hun
drsd and sixty people.
