The hotel committee made a very
favorable report at^ the special meet-
ing of the subscribers held at the
city hall Monday night. The report
showed that some' 630,000 was needed
to complete the 6100,000 subscription, '
but Chairman Ray made a clear state-
ment and emphasized the fact that
this is the opportune time for the
building of a hotel and that if Weath-
erford did not move out and prepare
for the entertainment of the people
who are coming to the etty it would
only be a short time until we would
be passed up altogether and that it
would remain for future generations
to overcome the spirit that is being
exhibited by the citizens who are able
to assist in this matter. He criticis-
ed, friendly, of course, the etand some
people are taking. * For instance, he
said that during the canvass be had i
met men who wanted to know the ex-
act location. If it was built in certain ,
locations they were in, if in other lo ]
cations they were out. He criticised \
the spirit severely, saying that he ■

Wn, i. ... . . ■— ■ .i ■ ........ - — it was the opinion of the board that
ttBtdred at the Postoffioe at Weather it. would not be justified in cashing
Sard, Toxaa, as second-class matter United States treasury certificates in
which state funds were invested and
which are producing 4.50 per cent in-
terest unless same rate of interest
could be secured.
The board ascertained that a rate
of 4.41 per cent collected monthly
would produce as much revenue as a
4.50 per cent rate collected annually,
hence it selected a number of banks
whose general average would be 4.41
per cent and made awards according-
ly.,; The board decided not to adver-
tise for a clearing bank, and it also
went on record as oppofing the estab-
lishment of receiving depositories, be-
cause prior to 1911 the system of re-
ceiving depositories was so unsatis-
factory that it was repealed.
In the awards made the average
amount bid for was 659,645. The low-
est was 610,000, the statutory mini-
mum and the highest was 6500,000.
being that of J. B. Alvis for 61,000.
Several good talks-were made and a
decision was reached that a commit-
tee be appointed to take the list and
go over it carefully and see some of
the small subscribers, who ought to
be large odes, and insist that their
subscriptions be raised to an amount
within the keeping of their financial
ability. At the same time this com-
mittee will call on a few well-to-do
citizens who have not as yet made a
subsrilition to the hotel.
At the meeting the question of ho-
tels paying was brought up and a
number of instances cited showing
that hotels no longer are money-los-
ing propositions, but dividend payers.
It was also stated by men who are
continually traveling that every city
and town in the state is crying for bet-
ter hotel facilities and most of them
are building modern hotels, and in
some instances several of them. Of
i all the cilies Weatherford alone Is
letting ihe matter drag.

ing at the Chamber of Commerce and
