HISTORIC HOTEL
IN JACKSONVILLE
CLOSED BY CITY
MEDFQRD, Jan. 1 (?) The
11. S. hotel in Jacksonville,
which once charged President
Rutherford B. Hayes so much
for a night's lodging the secre
tary of the treasury protested,
was closed by the city council
Tuesday as unsafe. - "
It was erected during Jack
sonville's gaudy days of gold
mining and its landlady had
the true Yukon sense of val
ues. - Her last name was Holt
but her first slips the memories
of local old timers.
President Hayes visited the
west coast shortly after the ho
tel's completion and he stopped
there overnight. Jacksonville
gave him a torchlight parade
and Landlady Holt, with obse
quious bowing and scraping, es
corted him and his party to the
"presidential suite."
The following day Landlady
Holt, her decorum still flawless,
presented the departing presi
dent with a bill for $300, old
timers recall.
A few weeks later she re
ceived a letter from Secretary
of the Treasury John Sherman:
"Madam, the president merely
desired a night's lodging and
had no intention whatever of
purchasing your property."
