A meeting of the directors of the Cleveland Springs Hotel company will be held soon for the purpose of selecting a manager and planning the future operation of the big resort hotel following the tragic death of Mr. Henry L Vanstory, for several years proprietor of the hostelry.
Just what plan the directors will pursue is unknown, and they themselves are probably not aware as yet as to definite plans.
A meeting of the directors had been scheduled for Tuesday to consider other business matters, probably in connection with the development work of Cleveland Springs Estates, which centers around the hotel, but this meeting was called off following the announcement of Mr. Vanstory’s death.
However, directors communicated with say that a manager and plan of operation will be selected at the meeting and that the hostelry will continue to operate as heretofore. Just whether it will be operated by a manager for the company or a lessee is not known as yet.
The operation of the hotel continues without interruption and will be continued, officials say. Mr. J.C.(?) Vanstory, brother of Mr. Henry Vanstory, is here from Goldsboro and will be in conference with the directors this week. In all probability he will continue his lease with an experienced hotel manager in charge. Mr. Vanstory operates the Hotel Goldsboro and the Hotel Kennon at Goldsboro, and is one of the most successful and widely known hotel men in the state.
