hotel Committee, R. w. Northcutt,
chairman: This committee presented
citizens of Marietta an opportunity
to give Marietta what she has needed
for many years-a modern hotel.
Only $76,700 could be raised in the
campaign 100000 was the mini
mum goal, consequently the cam

the future will have a new hotel, and
the fact that the recent campaign
failed will not be accepted as abso-
Lutte defeat.
