Shortly before the first primary 1--WE we saw ava a" ar a announcement in the Local news
no further announcement has been made concerning this new hotel, and
why nothing further has been said.
Promotion costs are high and if w would reason the situation out, there
This would mean that some of our big business men, who made so much
money here during the past world var, would donate around ten thousand
dollars each to cover above average costs of construction to the tune of
around 100000. If this UNI we're raised and donated, along with a site that
could be agreed upon in advance, n o doubt a new Hotel could be started
now. They could receive preferred stock for their donations, but this
would not be the type investment to sell the working man, OF the widow
and the orphan.
Let's not kid ourselves about the Hotel gossip. One would have paid for
itself now if built back in 1899 or 1910, but ne one group had the courage
to build it then when costs weren normal. What we need to do is o sell our
own people on the future of our City and County. We have good climate,
deep water and everything it takes to make a real City. 1t takes the con-
fdence of the people who believe in its future to build a great City. That
is what we need Ito do most, sell the citizens on I'll county and City and
be a booster.
pledge that n of the aims of my administration as a member of the
Board of Supervisors if elected, will be to promote the best interest of our
County and District. Above all will be a BOOSTER at all times and it is
my thought that such spirit is necessary to promote the continued growth
and welfare of our County and District.
