The hotel project just now offers the calamity howl- ers material out of which build another “crisis.” The paper that always pictures “Seattle with its back to the wall” and chronically “views things with alarm,” grabs upon this hotel problem as an excuse for another outburst of asininity. As a matter of fact, the difficulty confronting the hotel promoters is not a serious one, They find that to} up a hotel that will be an assured success, more money is needed. And the money can be had as a reasonable loan. Certainly, it would be folly con- struct a non-profitable $2,000,000 hotel when a $4,000,- 000 hotel would be profitable. The hotel must be built in the right w ent bondholders, in the opinion of The Star, will pro. tect their own interests by agreeing promptly to the new plan of the executive committees, For ten y we have been talking about the need of a new hotel. Now that we have it on the way, the site selected, more than half the necessary money raised, the other part of the money offered as a loan, The Star fails to see why anybody should be discouraged. As for The Star, we refuse to be, discouraged, even tho Mr. Waterhouse happens to be head of the hotel executive committee. The Star has said, emphatically, that Seattle would ve better off, in its opinion, if Mr. Waterhouse would resign. ‘The Star is still of that opinion, but if Mr. Waterhouse won't resign, or if his friends won't let him resign, that is no reason why The Star or any other Seattle institution should refuse to work with him on a worth-while. civie proposition. There is no occasion to make a controversy out of this hotel financing scheme. It presents a clean-cut business proposition, and nothing more. Viewing it from that basis solely, the bondholders will agree promptly and unanimously.
