Earnest G. Friez Jr., manager, said that he thought that the Harbor View Hotel had weathered the Tuesday weather in comparatively good shape. “We were very fortunate,” he said, “compared to the trouble some were in.” One chimney fell on the ell of the main hotel, over employees’ quarters, and smashed through the roof into a room on the third floor. Other than that the damage was confined to a few chairs, windows and shutters and shingles. The hotel was still without lights early Thursday evening, but with gas ranges no hardship had been suffered by the guests because of any lack in the regular meal schedule. A concert, candle-illuminated, helped enliven Tuesday evening.
