ATTORNEY LEIGH cAswEIL PREP
AIRED PAPERS FOR CORPORATION
DIRECTORS WILL Be CHOSEN
Committees Reported Last Sunday
Reducing Outstanding Amounts
to a Small Amount

| Attorney Leigh c. CaswelI was In.
structed by the committees present at
the meeting last Sunday morning Il
start at once TO prepare to incorpor,
ate the Crystal Falls Hotel Co. TO take
over the funds and property OF the
subscribers 10 the stock OF the pro.
posed hotel. The incorporation will
be made in the name of the general
committee. Ben G. Neely, John r
Mason, William j. Reynolds, A. L
Burridge and II. B. Webb.
AS soon as the papers are back
from Lansing and the incorporation
is completed. a general meeting pi
the subscribers to the stock of tie
new project will be held and a board
of directors. chosen. When that has
been done the corporation can legally
function.
Get Out Plans Etc
One OF the first pieces OF work for
the new board of directors will be the
getting out OF plans and specifications
for the proposed building.
The mining companies Will be re-
quested to at least take a place upon
the building committee. There is a
very pronounced disposition 70 I'm
clud two mine owners on
the board OF directors. When the
hotel project first rounded out In full
bloom the sentiment was very pro-
nounced In favor OF the late Jas. d.
Ireland and. II he could be persuaded
TO accept. Price Mckinney. The sem
timent is fully as strong now, the
obstacles being the willingness Of Mr..
Mckinney to accept and some one 10
take the place of Mr.. Ireland.
These are matters that will be
worked out between now and the time
OF the stockholders meeting. II the
mine owners will consent TO accept
II would be necessary for them TO
work very much through a representa-
|tive--there is no question about their
unanimous election. The big work will
be over with as soon as the building
IS built as IL is the intention to rent
the building, not to attempt any pper-
alton by the hotel company. This fact
would reduce the work OF a member
OF the board OF directors to a mere
trile while the influence OF a should
er to shoulder connection between the
people OF the community and those
who have so much at stake in the
community but are really aliens TO II
would be OF immeasurable benefit to
both forces that go to make up the
community.
Expect Work 10 Start In Spring
The confident expectations Is that
work will commence in the spring and
that the building will be ready for
occupancy by next fall.
The first thing necessary win be 70
select an architect and get out suit
able plans for the building. Some ten
tative plans have been gotten out but
they were more TO have some tangible
picture before the people than for
actual working purposes.
IL is expected that by the time tho
the plans are ready the lot will have
been secured and work will start wifh
a rush when II doies start,
Have Saved Much Money
There has been considerable criti-
|cism OF those having the project In
hand because they didn't get to act
uaI building operations two years ago,
When one stops TO consider the DIR
ference in conditions then and nov
one can easily see how fortunate :
was that we had somo good business
men AZ the head OF the hotel project
Had we started the building two years
ago, or even year ago, we woild
not have been able 10 complete II
Tho Amasa school building Is q goat
example OF what II meant TO attenp'
building operations In those ebnorn
Al times. Although the Amasn hosrd
OF education had boni ilde contracts
for all their materiai and tFoughl
that they saw their way clear "a sail
right along with their building they
met with cancellation after cancflla
t,on after they got started. Strikes
and other excuses were put forward
as the basis OF cancellations. These
cancellations Of contracts increased
the cost Of the building nearly loo pc
cent over the original estimate.
Similar conditions would have beer
experienced by the hotel company had
'it started 70 build Now the skies art
cleared prices have dropped about
nty per cent over what they were
