Susanville Hotel Company Elects New President

November 30, 1925

At a meeting of the Board of Directors of Susanville Hotel Company, held last Saturday, J. E. Pardee was chosen to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of A. G. Breitwieser, and John B. Spalding was elected President of the Board to succeed Mr. Breitwieser.

The matter of a name for the hotel was taken up and discussed with Mr. Coffin, the lessee of the hotel rooms, and at his urgent request it was decided to call the new hostelry “Hotel Mount Lassen.”

Mr. Coffin insisted that name would be a great advertising asset to the house, and as he has leased the rooms for a ten-year term the Board reluctantly acceded to his request.

An offer of $25 for the suggestion of an appropriate name had been made some time ago, with the provision that neither “Susanville” nor “Lassen” should be used in the name and under that offer names had been suggested by many persons, and for that reason as well as many others the Board was reluctant to adopt the name desired by Mr. Coffin.

To show the good faith of the Board it was voted to donate $25 to the local Red Cross and $25 to the Ladies Relief Society of Susanville, in lieu of paying $25 to any person who had submitted a name.
