Show Senator's Meal Costs 65 Cents The Senate took a long look at its figures this year and promptly went out of the restaurant business, busi-ness, says Pathfinder. Things had been alarming enough in the preceding five years when operating losses in Senate restaurants totaled over $200,-000. $200,-000. But when the fiscal year 1947 added $68,000 more to the red side of the ledger, something had to be done. Capitol architect David Lynn was shelved as chief restaurateur last Aug. 1. The Senate Rules Committee hired a Chicago concern con-cern to manage the restaurants, bought more than $10,000 worth of streamlined equipment. The patrons say the food today is better, bet-ter, hoter service is facter and they can get the "best dollar -meal in town for 65 cents." |
