but also the addition of new
business on the books"

that he was doubling his subscrip-
ton because he believed that If the
hotel project failed, every bit OF
property in Albuquerque would de-
teriorate at least 10 per cent.
A huge sign-board Is being
erected on the site of the hotel on
the corner of Sixth and Central,

work will be put up, showing the
amounts necessary to complete the
financing.

monument of civic progress of the
hotel itself"
