That the city will practically obtain the land free of charge, since the park commissioners plan to retire the bonds with monev r * obtained from the rentals on cabins to be erected on the addition, and other land released from its present occupation, by the purchase of the addition, is assured. Figures presented by the Park Commissioners detailing the revenue derived from the cabins already on the park lands show that the upkeep of the park and the of Properties in retirement of bonds has been possible in the past, and with Valuation Jackson County Placed the addition of the cabin* contemplated for the new addi at $24,799,170 tion, the retirement of the bonds will be an easy matter.

It was explained by the mem bers of the hoard of directors th a t at the time the subscription» were originally taken, there was 3150,000 subscribed. Of this amount, there is a total of ap proximately 37,000 which it ap pears the company will be huable to collect, m aking a net paid up stock subscription list of 3143,- 000. The hotel structure, not In cluding the furnishings, will cost In the neighborhood of 3193.000, or w ithin five per cent of the original cost estim ate. The fur nishings for the structure will cost approxim ately 350,000 at the maximum, making a total of 3100,000 which is needed to put the hotel into shape where it can begin earning money for the investors. The directors explained to the stockholders th a t there three plans for the raising of the addi tional money. The company could issue bonds for the entire 3100,000, additional s to c k am ounting to 3100,000 could be sold, or an additional am ount of stock could be sold, and the com pany issue bonds for the rem ain der of the money needed: The last named course was decided upon, since it was explained th at with the Issuance of 3100,000 In bonds would force the price of the bonds somewhat lower than they should be, and th a t it would be practically an impossibility tv sell 3100,000 more stock in A sh land.
