DeKalb Hotel Drive Falters as $10,000 Remains Unsubscribed
A DeKalb committee reports $50,000 in stock subscriptions for a new hotel, but only $10,000 more is needed. Shares are $100 each yielding 6 percent and can be purchased at local banks or via committee members. Without this shortfall filled in days, the effort may be dropped and DeKalb will lack a new hotel for a long time.
