Present Accommodations = More
Room for the Coming Guests

Room for the Coming Guests.
With this week will come into Los
Angeles not less than 1000 passengers
by railway, besides the usual number by
stages and private conveyance. The
question is asked on all sides what will
be done with SO many guests! Some
special effort must be made to accommo-
date this large number Of visitors. They
must be fed. and many will have to
be furnished with sleeping accommo-
dations. Are our people alive to the
matter, and making proper efforts to
supply this large crowd Of visitors 7
With every year the trade to Los An
geles increases and the facilities to
entertain the people must be increased.
The Nadeau Hotel will entertain after
midsummer $50 guests, in addition to
the number now provided for in the
city, but that will not be enough to ac-
commodate the increase Of travel.
Another hotel will have to be built
across the river on Boyle flights, and
the Cosmopolitan, Pico and U. 5. Hotels
enlarged With good management a
hotel that will accommodate 500 guests
yields larger return of profit per capita
than smaller houses. The Cosmopoli-
tan could be easily enlarged by extend
ing 1t back over New High street on to
the side OF the hill where beautiful
rooms, with generous verandas COM
handing a view of the city and plain,
could be easily constructed, and would
be sought for at all seasons of the year.
II the proprietor. Mrs. Doria Jones,
could be induced to expend portion of
her ample fortune in adding a hundred
or more rooms to this hotel on the hill
side, extending from New High to
Buena Vista street, it would be very
desirable improvement and full OF profit
to the owner.
BY making these increased accommo-
dations, the city will offer increased
attractions for visitors, and become the
center for political, industrial and re-
ligious conventions for large region OF
country. Already the volume of
travel has outgrown our hotel
and lodging accommodations. There
is an urgent demand for more fur
nished lodging rooms in the business
part of the city. The old rookeries
should be torn down and replaced by
good, substantial two-story brick build
ings and the substantial one story build
ings raised to two-story structures. We
need also more street cars TO carry peo-
pie from one point to another, and to
have all cars propelled by cable or by
two horses or mules, la this matter
our city is long way behind the age
and behind the demands of business.
A uniform fare Of five cents should be
charged to correspond to the currency
of the country.
