Deer Park Hotel May Reopen.

After weeks of indecision as 20
whether or not Deer Park Hotel would
reopen this summer, it seems proba-
BILE that it will be operated beginning
about July 1, if present plans mature,
according to those who have the prop
erty in charge. Sometime ago a re-
ceiver, the Continental Trust Com
pany, Detroit, Mich, was appointed
by the court to take the property over.
If it should be operated it will likely
be in charge of w. J. Flynn, who was
manager a few years ago.
