OF their own, do not see proper to
divulge their plans at this time.
During the two years of the cxis

its management has been quietly at
work on the hotel proposition. Dur
ing these years many hotel men have
been interviewed many plans have
been presented and the experience
of many cities uf various sizes have
been taken into consideration. 1t is
the Judgment OF the associations d.

and lease to Il hotel operator.
