Hotel fund drive risks ruin for capital city
C G Scruggs chairing the hotel campaign warned that without action by January first the capital city will face a costly, drawn out disaster from a severe hotel shortage. He noted Columbia raised 160 000 in stock fourteen years ago and that Jefferson City must seek substantial subsidies or lose a hotel project to others. The campaign, endorsed by the Chamber of Commerce, aims to avoid burdening taxpayers, with twelve dozen local figures named as supporters and organizers.
