Show A PRACTICAL KLOGK-mON. How are wo to provide accommodations accommoda-tions for tho thousands of visitors who will conio to Salt Lake this season? This is indued a serious question. All tho hotels are now running full, all tho lodging rooms are occupied, and there is not a vacant dwelling houso in tho city. It will be at least thrco months before extra accommodations can bo provided, The Timks suggests that in view of tho emergency tho Industrial Women's Homo, it possible, ho utilized as a hotel. That large building is now occupied oc-cupied by only eight or nine persons who could easily bo taken care of in an ordinary or-dinary dwelling house. Wo understand under-stand that the Utah commission has the control of tho Women's Home. If the commission has no authority auth-ority to act in this mat-tor, mat-tor, why cannot congress be petitioned peti-tioned at once to permit the leasing of tho building for ono year or eighteen months for a hotel. We believe this schemo cau bo successfully carried through if tho proper steps are taken. This is a matter that should bo discussed dis-cussed at the mass meeting this evening, and then taken hold of by tho chamber of commerce and real estate exchange. |
