A New Brunswick summer hotel which was destroyed by fire is being rebuilt in a way 1w make the summer tourist literally sit up and take no- tice—and wish he could spex { summer nights in such a haven safety. einforced concrete work, with terra cotta partitions, fireproof doors and other details of the best Iln modern construction will make the building us nearly tireproof as a hotel {can be and something of a distinet | novelty in the summer hotel line. At | most summer places the hotel smen do differently. When the house buris to the ground, in fifteen minutes more or less, after the manner of the sum- mer hotel, they rebuild in the same old way, us hastily and cheaply as possible The result is high insurance rates, not only for the hotel but for the cottuges or other buildinge with- in reach of its sparks; and a poor ex- ample is set for other builders in the neighborhood. More than one beau- tiful spot in the summer resort zons has been made an ugly community of shacks by the indifference of the hotel builder who got there first. The two per cent. substantial summer home goes with two per cent. substantial summer hotel. With proper develops ment of the summer resort industey in New England the time is coming when even the poor traveler will de- mand safety in hig hotel, and will be willing to pay for it. o Members of the Chicago Board GRAFF in New Britain With ticker ser- vice and direct telegraphic connection with New York and Chicage F.
