CADSDEN HOTEL

The first car load of tile for the
new bathrooms which are to go
with the new rooms being built into
the Gadsden hotel has arrived and
the work of installing bath tubs and
tlling the floors is in full swing These
bath rooms are to be as artistic and
as luxurious as any to be found
in the very best of hotels
Besides the fine tiling in the floors,
the large roomy tubs set in the
tiles, the finest of plumbing fixtures
throughout and a mirrored front to
the medicine case set in the walls,
| there will be the full length mirror
in the doors of each of these bath
rooms.
The tearing out of the old room
partitions with all old plaster, old
lath and old fixtures, is going for
ward rapidly and very soon now,
/ the management reports, some thir-
ty or forty rooms will be completed
and ready for use. AS soon as these
are finally ready for occupancy the
other rooms of the hotel which are
now occupied by guests, will be closed
and torn up for a complete remodel
ing.
Almost every day the switch en-
gines roll another car of building
material or fixtures into the siding
behind the hotel and men swarm
about unloading the beautiful ma
terial and carrying it into the hotel
where the Railways, dining room and
stairways at the rear are jammed
with many articles.
The management has made no de-
finite estimate of what the complete
reconditioning and rebuilding of the
structure is going to cost Thev say,
"It is going to cost plenty but when
the job is finished we expect to
have as fine a commercial hotel as
money can construct or as anyone
could wish for.
