Vis- istors form their first and iuost lust- ing impression of a city by their en- joyment or the want of it in the home, public or private, in which they re- side during their visit. The value on at good hotel to the city therefore is iiioulculable and very much can be dono ‘by public spirited citizens in becoming acquainted with their lead- ing hotels, noting their advantages, helping to give them a. good name when worthy of lt. and through it boosting their city and province. A tour through the Victoria and a close inspection of its furnishings will satisfy the visitor that it has been furnished throughout with ex- quisite taste. There are 104 guest rooms in all-, 42 of these furnislied with baths and about 'half a dozen of them suites. Besides this there are nine public ,baths 'ln the building. each one provided with all thc most modern fixtures. Tile bedrooms are all tastefully and elegantly furnish- ed, nothing cheap or gaudy in either furniture or furnishings. The beds are the latest in brass, box springs and Ostermoor- mattresses; the car- pets unil rugs Wilton or Brussels and in nice restful colors and patterns. All the rooms have the advantage of be- ing on the outside and open to the air, light and sunslilne. - From the upper windows- ii magnificent view of the harbor and city may be obtained _while from the roof. accessible -by ele- vator, there is one of the finest views in the Maritime Provinces. Altogeth- er this pslgtial hotel is undoubtedly one of the lnest. and with few super- iors, in Eastern Canada and cannot fail to attract visitors In increasing numbers in the future. The price set on this hotel, $75,000, is undoubtedly a cinch. A careful esti- mate made by a part/y of thoroughly competent judges, after making a generous discount from tho original cost ran the value well- over $99,000. If valued at prices ruling today lt would probably amount to 3200.000. No one, looking over the premises, with everything, from the office and its adjuncts, its cosily furnished rest rooms ‘and parlors. to its magnifi- cently and tastefully furnished billi- fooms, will hesitate in pronouncl g it a bargain at the figure asked for it. The fact that it is In splc and span running order, s live hotel filled with guests and needing iieithenrepalrii iiriatlxrniture nipkes it doubly a bar- . (Special to The Guardian.)
