pose. perhaps, that II will only delay travel for
Few DAYS, but II really Will damage our business

York city," said the clerk In another uptown
hotel "and or course the storm has shut on all Of
that. In fact, We have not had an arrival for
three days. II means a loss OF 500 day TO us
But there is one good thing. we are keeping those
who are here"
