Every Iloom jn I'opulur Hostlery to Ho Provided Willi Telephone Office Moved to Jtcur of Ix! by Now KUiirwuy to He Initialled. In keeping with the progressive Ideas of the management, II lines & Oliver, owners and managers of the ! Grand Hotel, on Cass street, have ' announced a number of substantial : Improvements which will prove of l great convenience to the patrons of I the populur hostlery. . included among these Improve ments Is the Installation of tele phones in every room In the hotel, all of which will be connected with a central station to be located in the office. This switchboard will be in charge of an experienced operator thus assuring patrons of the house up-to-the-minute service. In the fu ture guests at this popular hostlery will not bo obliged to resort to the office telephone, neither will they be compelled to occupy the cramped quarters of the telephone booth. . On the contrary guests may retire to their rooms where they may car ry on a local or long-distance con versation In the utmost secrecy. Messrs. Illmes & Oliver late yester day signed a contract with Manager Hamilton, of the local telephone ex change, and the work of installing the switch-board and Individual tel ephones will be commenced at once. It Is not thought that more than three weeks will bo consumed In do ing the work. Another Improvement worthy of more than passing notice is the re arrangement of the lobby. The desk, or office as It may best be termed has been moved from Its erstwhile position near the front of the lobby to the roar where the clerk nnd his assistants are given more room In which to carry on their work. Through this change, the gueHts of the hotel are also afforded an un obstructed view of Cass street, and vlcnty. In tho space formerly oc cupied by the office writing tables nnd easy chairs have been Installed for the comfort of the guests. To make the lobby all the more pleasant and attractive Hlmes & Oli ver have also decided to extend the runt flush with the sidewalk, and In so doing, eliminate tho singlo en trance. This change will not on! afford considerable additional room but will give the front of tho build ing a more metropolitan appearance. The double entrance, at present sta tioned wllhln a few feet of tho West wall o: the lobby will be continued in service. And still another Improvement contompluted within tho noxt few days Is tho Installation of an open ..talrway to replace the enclosed one at present In use. The new stairway will bo supported by an attractive banister, and will bo so arranged as to add considerable to the beauty of tho office. Additional furnlturo Is also be ing Installed In tho lobby, Including easy chairs, writing tables, rugs and .irnamental fixtures. With the above i Improvements compelled Hlmes S Oliver will boast of a hotel second to none In this section of the State. TUACH KR'8 EXAMINATION.
