CiltAXI). HOTEL IS

m
IIOVKMKXTS.
Xew Mnungtuiicut. IMhiih To Make
Hostlery One of the Finest In
Tills Section nf the State.
The new mnnngemont of the Clrand
hotel has In view a unique propo
sition' which Involves three novel
changes In the Grand hotel and of
the adjoining office guilding In
the shade of the big gray hotel.
The most original of these chnngos
will be a "marquise" on the roof of
their office which will contnin palms
and potted plants, while along the
edges of the three walls long Jar
dinlros filled with trailing, flow
ering vines will be placed.,
Access to this will be arranged
for the guests of the Grand hotel by
changing one or the windows In the
side of the building Into a door lead
ing out upon the roof level of the
building occupied by the renl estate
firm of Ilimos & Oliver. Over the
main entrance to the Grand hotel
a beautiful nnd ornamental "mar
quise" will be placed. This will be
suspended by cbalnB and will be
minted a bronze color. It will have
j t8 three sides covered with ilium-
innied glass letters, "The Grand
lintel", which can be seen from the
east. west, and south. This will be
supplemented by a huge oblong elec
tric sign along the outer edse of the
south and west walls of the hotel
building.
The west window of the flrHt floor
of the hotel will bo widened and the
present small doorway eliminated.
The effect of these changes will
marl another bit of progress along
the line of rendering less rigid and
more artistic the lines of the build
ings of this city.
Another change will be made by
cutting a doorway from the lobby of
the hotel Into the Grand Grill.
The new management will have
entire charge of these changes and
have commissioned 8. Franklin
Yeager to make a water color paint
ing of their new Idea of making a
city beautiful for which they deserve
credit.
