They also asked that the former “way freight” schedule be re sumed. instead of the present every- other-day arrangement, with the trans fers made at Adairsville instead of this city as they formerly were. The association made ithe request in a courteous way, showing the reasons for their request but gave the officials to understand that unless action were taken the local business men would take the matter up with the state rail road commission.

Chairman of Civitan Hotel Com mittee Will Report at Reg ular Luncheon of Club TWO SITES PROPOSED FOR NEW HOTEL HERE Smith Announces Other Members of Committee—Time Is Here to Get Busy Is Opinion of Those In terested—3 Next Friday H. J. Smith, as chairman of the Civ itan club’s hotel committee, will have his report'to submit to the club at the Friday luncheon at Shelton’s Cafe this week. Mr. Smith has named W. C. Martin, < W. K. Moore, Frank Manly and John B. Brown as the four other mem bers of the committee. Options have been secured on two sites, the place where the old Hotel Dalton was located, and thq, lots on the comer of Crawford and Pentz streets, immediately west of the Shad- owland theatre. It is probable that the hotel will go on one of these two sites. At the meeting Friday, following the committee's report on sites, other work will be cut; out, with the actual solici tation of "subscriptions to stock in ■ the proposed hotel company. Of the two sites on which options have been secured, each has its cham pions.' Those who favor the Hamilton street property point out the fact that a row of store buildings on the ground floor would tend to mafee the invest ment a profitable one, while a builciing used strictly for a. hotel would find hard sledding in a financial way. On the other hand, those who favor the Crawford street property point to the added comforts that would come from well shaded and commodious porches. These matters, however.' will all be smoothed out, and when final action is taken .all are going to be found work ing together to successfully promote the hotel proposition. As Mr. Smith stated at the former meeting when he was made chairman of the Civitan club’s hotel committee, those interested in seeing a modem hotel erected in Dalton are convipced that the time to build is right here, and tbe hotel is going to be nut over.
