CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND
MAYOR A. J. DOHERTY ENTER
INTO CONTRACT FOR HOTEL!
Deed to Site Delivered and Contract for Erection and Furnishing Agreed to at Largely Attended Meeting of Clare's
Real Boosters' Organization.
AMPLE SECURITY FURNISHED BY MHOS.
The £ort> members of the
Chamber of Commerce who attended
the special meeting held on Thursday
evening oi> last week folt when the
adjournment has been taken that
more genuine progress h_ad been made
in furthering the program for a "Bigger and Better Clare" than at any
previous gathering of that body. It
was accomplished because the spirit
of get-together has been developed to
a point where each thinks and acte
only for the betterment of the community, and after a full realization
that what is for the good of one is for
the benefit of all.
After more than a year of anxiety
regarding the possibility of the city
again possessing a modern hotel, and
concerning which there had arisen
more or less pessimism, the committee of the Chamber having the Fub.
ject in hand, and consisting of
Messrs. George Johnson, M. B. Gallagher and Jas. S. Bicknell, submitted
a report which was joyously received
and promptly confirmed. It's provisions were to the effect that upon delivery of the title to the Calkins site
to Mayor Doherty he would enter
into contract to erect and furnish a
fire-proof hotel building thereon, to
cost not less than $60,000. In consideration of the transfer of title he
gives the Chamber as security for
#er.r#raanqo. under the contract a
- tealr--' estate' mortgage;, jrpon other,
property in the; city and of the value
of §9,000 The committee regarded
the security as ample, and in face
value it is nearly double the amount
which the Chamber paid for the site.
Under the contract the hotel is to be
completed and ready for occupancy
on or before May 1st, 1923.
Secretary McAllister made an extended report upon the financial con.
dition of the Chamber and which was
satisfactory, although many have ne.
glected to pay their quarterly dues.
He felt, however, that no difficulty
would be encountered in making the
collections.
President  Caple urged  mat    more
attention he given the matter of ad.
vertising  the  city's  growth  and    attractiveness,   and   suggested   the   immediate erectionof suitable signboards
indicating the sites of the new hotel
and school as well as the   industries
which have already added so much to
the city's importance.      The suggestion was concurred in and the president authorized to have them erected.
Announcement was  made    of    the
visit to be made   by   the   Michigan
Pikes Association, which to the mim
her    of    three    hundred    will    pass
through  Clare on  July 11th.    bound
for the Lake Superior country.    This
association is made up of leading De.
troit business men and who know a
live town when they see it.     It was
suggested that the Chamber might observe  that day for it's    anniversary
celebration, and which has been under consideration for several months.
The   chairman   of the   entertainment
committee, H.  C.  Cudney, was authorized to proceed with such plans as
he might deem appropriate.     Further
announcement   of  this   occasion  will
be made later.
A general discussion was had upon
the subject of boosting, and in which
many desirable suggestions were
made.      It was led by S.    C.    Kirk.

can force payment, and in fact there
is no disposition to deny the liability
under the law.
Since the accident the commission
has insured it's employees. The
cost of such insurance is based upon
the total of the annual pay roll, at
$17.50 per ?1,000 of such pay roll.
Clerk Andrus estimates that this
will reach $7,000 per year, and the indemnity provided in the policy would,
in the instance of the Pervorse case
involve a payment of approximately
three thousand dollars.
