TOURIST HOTEL
SELECTED
Title to Levee Property
to Be Perfected in
About 3 Weeks

The vacant lot at the southwest of
Eleventh and Levee streets, and extend
ing south along Levee to Twelfth street,
today was announced by Lee B. James
as having been definitely selected for
the proposed tourist hotel to cost about
S40O ,OO0
However, it will be at least three
weeks before title to the property can
be secured, Mr.. James said, which has
caused delay of about that length of
time in the starting of actual construc-
ton.
The property is owned by the Gulf
Coast Lines. Before it could be trans
fe1rei to the hotel company it was
necessary to carry the matter through
the railroad bondholders, and through
the Interstate Commerce Commission for
approval of that body. Efforts have
been underway for several months to
clear away the details as they arose,
and H. R. Stafford, executive vice-p -presi
dent Of the Gulf Coast Lines told Mr.
James day or two ago that he be-
lieved it Y IL be three weeks before
they were disposed Of.
road passenger station, drawn along
with the hotel plans, also is necessary
and this is being held up for few
days pending decision by the railroad
compaR's engineers as to whether there
will be sufficient track length avail
able. 1t was feared that the depth of
the building, as planned by the archi-
tects, might shorten too much the pres
track layout.
The railroad passenger station prop
er is expected to cost around 100000.
The building is designed along lines of
the Florida East Coast passenger sta
ton at Palm Beach, Fla, in mission
style, and is expected to be beautiful
and modern in every detail
As at present planned, the hotel
structure will extend $50 feet along
Levee street from the corner of
Eleventh, and will be the equivalent Of
seven stories in heighth. There will be
five floors for guest rooms, 80 rooms
to the floor, mez canine floor the first
floor will have space for the lobbes
dining room, coffee shop, and other
modern hotel shops. There will also be
spacious sun parlor facing to the
southeast and designed to receive the
| full benefit of the southeast breezes.
| Unless it is found necessary to
change the plans, the railroad station
and the hotel building proper will be
connected by a runway which will also
be most attractive in design. There
will be a private driveway leading to
st. Charles street and the express com
I-pany offices.
The buildings will be thoroughly fire.

The general strike is continuing un-
