plan calls for hotel that will be the states best said
Mr.. Knowles this afternoon. No city within Nevada
will have anything creditable although the story
to the Golden hotel in Reno that will be erected
at the instance of Mr. Wingfeld, will be as good, of
course
Th building will be erected of brick and will be class
throughout It will be five stories in height and no
structure within the state will be more imposing. The

traordnary beauty
The ground floor will be given over to banking
rooms for the First National, lobby and dining ROOM
The banking will be among the best and most
attractive in the west The lobby is to be made
pecally commodious and attractive in the belief that

by court separating wings of the building the
south side.
Emphasis is laid on the fact that plumbing heating
lighting and elevator equipment to be of types that
are unsurpassed anywhere.
Materials for the new building will be in process of
assembling and on the ground within short time. It
believed that the construction job will require about
five months complete and that Ocober 18th Of this
year will witness the completion of the big task that
has been taken actively in hand by the First National
Bank authorities in strict fuflment of the pledge issued
some time back.
Architect F. J. deLongchamps of Reno and H. G.
Williams builder of San Francisco in conference
with the bank authorities today The building job has
not been formally awarded.
The defniteness given the hotel project will do much
to stimulate this community and the completion of the
great enterprise will add much also to the prestige of
this city as stopping place for people residing over
very large tributary territory. Local people believe
that much other building operation will be undertaken
as a result of the example afforded.
Back of this city ARE tremendous unconverted re-
sources well enormous producing
The action of the management of the First National
Bank examples abiding faith in those things that
go to make the community.
The hotel building subject formed the greater part
of the discussion occurring today at the quarterly meet
ing of the directors of the bank
