Of this really admirable arrangemen,
where they may feel perfectly Independent
Of escorts and high-priced hotels. and
secure nice accommodations with all sorts
Of assistance in sightseeing and safe
conduct at a very low price Mrs. Visa
thinks II Will not exceed forty cents
day. The scheme is under the super.
vision and protection of the board OF
lady managers, of which Mrs. Wise Is
member.
She says that I'm order 20 accomplish all
this work they have formed a stock COM
pany, and will soon be ready 20 ISSUE
stock in shares Of $40. These shares VIII
be taken at any Dormitory Of the Asso-
citation in payment for lodging bills only
two persons will be allowed TO come az one
time on a single share. These shares viii
be transferable. and II the face value Is
not used by the holder during her say.
It can be made over TO another who can
use the balance. After the ten dollars has
been used. the share still stands on the
books, credited 10 the holder, and she VIII
be entitled TO her pro rata share OF tho
profits. if a surplus remains after the
enterprise is closed
Each person must engage her room AZ
least one month before coming, I'm order
TO be sure of accommodation at that time.
and in making application for stock. must
state what month and what part Of that
month she desires 10 come.
The Association finds il will be neces-
sary to limit the number of guests 60 he
entertained during each month. hence The
first to apply for stock VIII have the
choice of the month I'm which they Will
come. while those who follow later may
be obliged to select another month when
there are vacancies
Stockholders will be given the prefer
ence over others. Non-hOlders of stock
will be furnished lodgings whenever va
cancies exist but they may be charged
a slightly higher rate.
The fact that Mrs. Wise Will herself
patronize the dormitories Is sufficient
guarantee Of the responsibility as well az
he practicability Of the plan. She az
