Charges.
Extensive Preparations Being Made
for Grand Army Day-Pasoo's
Peanuts.


work of tho committee Is a most i'm
portant one. Not only are visitors
wanted from all points, but IL Is nee
essary that when they leave they
shall go away with n good impress
sion of Spokane. Every citizen Of
Spokane possessed of any pride in
the city, or Of public spirit, desires
that the strangers who may solouru
for few days In this town shall
have all reason to remember the city
as good place to come to, not one
to get away from.
10 IL expected, of course, that all
who cater to the wants of the guests
shall make fair profit thereby, but
1t Is also expected that they shall
be satisfied with legitimate
profit Thelwork of the committee
Is to protect the guests from any or
such there be- whose rapacity would
lead them to make an overcharge
for services rendered during the ex-
hibition month. These strangers
will be here by invitation, and
ought to be protected.
The council will be asked to fix q
uniform charge for specific service,
wherever practicable. In cases
where this Is not practicable an eff
fort will be made to induce caterers
to list their prices with the COM
mittce. These prices will be adver-
tised to the public and 1t will be the
purpose of the committee to see that
the advertised rates are not departed
from. Public sentiment will cer-
tainly second the efforts of the
committee in this important work.
The members of the committee arc
w. III. Lynch, G. II. Burns and IL.
n. Belt. Their office will be Gen.
trail Exchange, Tldball block, oppo-
site the postoflicc. Messrs. j. Ii.
Sargent X Co. have gratuitously
placed mt the service Of the exposi-
ton management ample room in
their Central Exchange, for the pur-
pose of the committee, and also for
the Information bureau of the ex-
position.
