Mr.. Koch made the above statement
at Tuesdays Rotary meeting, ct
which he arrived from the train a few
minutes after the meeting had opened.
"They all know about Flagstaff, =
he said "They know that we should
have hotel They know more about
Flagstaff than we Go. / thought I'd
have to tell them about Flagstaff
they told me. This shows that we
have been asleep to our possibilities.
Several Of these men | saw We're
ready to invest in a hotel here. This
is the best index to the situation.
"In these little memorandum books
they had other information about
Flagstaff. You have live Chamber
of Commerce, they said. I told them
we have. You have Woman's
club, a Rotary club, a Business
Woman's association, they said. You
have everything but good hotel
''They also said: When you
need us, if we can he of any as
sistance to you, well come
there.
"The local committee is going at
the matter conservatlvely," MIR. Koch
told the Rotarians. "The committee
does not want to launch something
that will not produce Be patient tn-
til after our committee meets.
Flagstaff people must cooperate
in this. We don't want knockers. If
there was nothing but cooperation on
the coast, it certainly beh0oves our
people OF Flagstaff, especially our
hilcippSS Yqru fO cn0NPTatps
81 talked hotel 80 much in Cali
fornia that on coming home last night
/ dreamed abolSt it-dreamed that we
had beautiful big new hotel here.
It was a dream, Of course, but | be-
lieye it viii soon come true"
Flagstaff people may be sure that
if Mr.. Koch believes we are soon to
have the new hotel, we are almost
certain to have it. He has worked
long and faithfully on the PROPOSE
tion-long before any but few here
knew he was working on it, Faith on
the part Of Flagstaff people that we
would soon have the hotel became
general as soon as they knew he was
at work to get it here. Flagstaff
people have confidence in the keen
business sense of Mr.. Koch and in his
public spirit, progressiyeness and
ability to bring about what he goes
after. Unless our memories are very
short, we none of US have forgotten
the Tuesday noon at Rotary about two
years ago when he sent the telegram
to President Storey of the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe railway company
asking for a new depot for Flagstaff,
nor the almost immediate action fol-
lowing. There is also his constructive
work on the big improvements to
Flagstaff's water system, now almost
completed, to bear in mind.
Flagstaff win have the new hotel.
FEagstaff's real growth will date
from the moment that hotel is as
sured
Mr.. Koch should find every citizen
Of Flagstaff not only cooperating,
but enthusiastically boosting, for the
hotel. One man, no matter how able
and unselfish he may be, can do It
alone.
