It has been learned by the Evening Sentinel that there is now a move- ment in the city for the erection of a. 150—room hotel. to be erected in the New York promoters and local business men are said to be behind the contemplated project. Samuel Roodner. who as was stated in the Evening Sentinel recently is contemplating the erection of a. bus- iness and housing block on North Main street on his property between Marshall street and the Hayes build- ing. when seen by s. Sentinel report- or yestes‘day said that. whlloJIIs plans for the block were nearly completed. he was holding them up because he had been” approached by a. group of men who. desired to erect a modern fire proof hotel building on the site. This was ngkceable to Sir. .Roodner. according to his statement and it is believed that the site Is' an excellent suitor the purpose. Hr. Roodner sald'that some people Rom New York 're discussing the project with sev- eral local men. and that. he believed that the project might go through. 'Orme \V. LaBelle. proprietor of the Hotel Mahackemo. one of the local men said to be interested in the pro- ject. when seen by a Sentinel report- er, admitted that there had been some discussion of the matter. and that yesterday parties from New York were in conference here on the pro- position, but he added that nothing definite had been done on the matter, and that it might fall through. The new site is believed to have .been discussed. due to the fact that Harris & Guns. owners of the Hotel Clifford block are going ahead with their plans for the erection of an apartment house on the Clifford site, the stock company hotel woposition at first talked of for this site. having practically been abandoned. The acquisition of such a hotel on North Main street would mean con- siderable to the business men of that street and also of the Second District.

It was said to a. Sentinel reporter. this morning that the probable cost of the building. if erected would be be- tween 8300,000 and 8400.000. and would contain about 150 rooms and suites. It would be modern in every respect and would be one of the finest hotel buildings in this section.
