BURRITT NOW IS
NE. HEADQUARTERS
New Manager for New Britain
Hotel Is Zone Supervisor

With the taking charge of the
Burritt hotel this morning by the
new manager, Carlos D. Smith, New
Britain becomes for the second
time the headquarters for the New
England zone.
Mr.. Smith, who relieved John A.
Morgan, is zone manager, having
supervising jurisdiction of all New
England hotels for the United Hotels
corporation. This includes besides
the New Britain house, hotels in
New Bedford, Gardner and Salem,
Mass, Newport, R. l., Willimantic,
Conn, Worcester, Mass, and several
new ones which it is planned to
open soon.
Although the hotel is conducted
on a lease by the United Hotels cor
pration, which has the right to Sc
lect and dispose of managers, it is
understood that Mr.. Smith is here
as the result of a specific request of
the New Britain board of directors,
the first time the local board has
ever made such a request.
John A. Morgan, who was acting
manager following the resignation
of John E. Weakley several months
ago has been transferred to the
managership of the Colonial hotel
in Gardner, Mass.
This is the second time New
Britain has been the zone head
quarters. When the hotel first
opened and was being conducted
under the managership of Elias
Baker, Lewis o. TirreI was zone
manager and made his headquarters
at the Burritt.
While no radical changes are
contemplated by Mr. Smith, pos
sibly two are expected to take place
in the personnel of the hotel staff
within the next "a hours.
