A report was circulated during
the past week that a three story
brick hotel would be erected upon
the corner of Hayes and Burlington
street. Iuquiry has developed the
fact that there is little for credence
in the report. The owner of the
ground, who resides in Portsmouth,
has eiven the matter some thought,
but has not yet decided to erect the
structure. We believe, However,
that a modern and well appointed
hotel would proye a good invest
ment here right at the start, and it
is bound to come in the no distant
future.
