100000 HOTEL
PLANS COMPLETED
ARCHITECT CROZIER PRESENTS
A MOST COMPLETE SET
OF PLANS.

L
new $250,000 hotel building were
displayed to the citizens yesterday
by Architect Crozier of Minneapolis
at the Community Center Legion
clubrooms. The plans contemplate
structure equal to any in the
northwest outside of the Twin Cities
and Duluth Mr.. Crozier also ex-
planned the blueprint plans to those
present in most comprehensive
manner.
1t, at once became apparent that
if a structure of that kind was to
be finished in time for next sea-
to get to work as soon as possible
in order to put the new building
under roof during the coming
months and to allow winter work on
the finishing to progress.
1t also became apparent that in
order to insure the quick construc-
tion of the building it will be nee
es=ary to expedite the stock sub
scriptions. Every man who saw the
plans was pleased with the pro-
spects of having building of that
kind in Ely and expressed himself
very decidedly as to need of the
structure.
The plans call for a building $50
feet in width fronting on Chapman
Street and filling the space from
Komatar's to the Drug Store. The
eastern end to be four stories in
heighth and the western end five
stories. AS planned the building
will contain 83 rooms with bath; 16
rooms without bath and nine apart
ments; ten suites of private Offices
are provided; three waiting rooms;
five stores or business places; hand
some vaulted lobby and dining room
with a mezzanine floor; private din
ing rooms and club rooms; kitchens;
billiard room; barber shop; soft
drink parlor and Commercial Club
room; storage and trunk rooms;
sample rooms and dozens of other
necessary rooms needed for a hotel
of that nature. We expect next
week to print front elevation pic
ture of the new hotel in fact, our
description fails to do justice to the
fine piece of work of the architect.
The eastern end of the building
has been set apart for postoffice
in one story addition. The rooms
adjoining in the main building has
been planned for quarters for the
| U. S. Forest Service and abundant
space is allowed for each. The
plans present very alluriEg pro-
spect.
The committee having the can
wasting for the sale of stock in
hand report somewhat better feel
ing in some quarters but that the
that considerable amount must yet
be forthcoming to secure the Ely
| quota in the venture.
A mass meeting Of citizens has
BEEN called for next Wednesday
evening to put the finishing touches
on the proposition. At this meet
ing the men who expect to put their
money into the venture will be pres
ent and state things fully. In the
meantime, let all those who have as
yet not displayed their loyalty to
the city sign one of the guarantee
slips for as much as he can possibly
oIaHu. ilC HlSS payment VI OuC-
third will be called for when the
roof is on the new building; the
second when the plastering is done
and the last when the building is
completed in May.
Don't let silly propaganda circu-
lated by some one with an AK to
grind stand in the way of the up
building of the city for all the
people. A committee of business
men have decided that Ely needs
the hotel after a careful canvas of
the situation and these men are
backing the project by putting in
their time and money to a large
amount in each case. At the head
of this committee is Mayor Hanson,
whom we all know and who is the
right man for the place; young,
virile and a go-getter. With him
stand A. J. Thomas, veteran attor-
ney of the city; James Moonan, for
| twenty-five years a citizen of the
city and agent for the D. & I. R.
| and A. c. Hall, manager of one Of
our most enterprising industries,
the Emeralite Surfacing Products
Co. All are men we can tie to in
perfect assurance of receiving their
| best efforts, in itself no small item
in the development campaign for
Ely. \
Be at the mass meeting Wednes-
| day night at 8 o'clock.
