Mr. Delltnger made the interesting state ment that he knew Mr. Hammond would assist the project. "I have henrd him express himself very forcibly upon this matter," said Mr. Delllnger, "and he will lend us some assistance." Mr. McGregor stated that the local banks were holding fully $1,000,000 on which no Interest was received, and he thought It might be a good plan to get hold of some of this money, under a guarantee of Interest. Mr. Wise also spoke enthusiastically, although he confessed disappointment because' of the absence of come large property holders who should have been pres ent Messrs. Smith, Harrison, Allen and Schimpff took up the financial side of the matter and discussed It at some length. The committee which prepared the report above printed was appointed and a recess was taken while the report was being prepared. The report was adopted upon the re convening of the session, and, after the appointment of the committee of three, adjournment was 'taken until 7 o'clock tonight. The proposal decided upon last night is substantially as follows: The hotel and guaranty company shall be the or ganisation having control of the ho tel. Forty-year bonds, bearing 5 per cent will be Issued, to the amount of $100,000. The guaranty company shall guarantee the Interest for a period of 10 years. Thus, If the hotel is a finan cial success, the stockholders would not be required to advance one penny. It was pretty generally agreed last night that a hotel would surely pay 5 per cent, which would meet the Interest payments. At tonight's meeting, it is expected, all of the heavily lnteresed property owners will be present. Their views will be secured and If any change In the plans adopted last night Is con sidered advisable It will be made.
