There certainly does not seem, accord
ing to these figures, to be any indication
that citizens of Chicago will demand ex-
cessive rates for the accommodation of
visitors to the exposition, and they can be
relied upon to sustain the good reputation
of Chicago for fair and liberal treatment
of Its guests One publishing house has
pamphlet now in press containing list of
over 10, 900 places in the city of Chicago
where furnished rooms can be had at mod
crate rates. The prices given above do not
| include large first class hotels nor promi-
nent new buildings in course of erection
| in the Vicinity of jackson park. Many
| miachievous rumo1s alleging the likeli-
hood of high prices and extortion
generally have been originated by persons
! Interested in outside boarding house
| schemes, some of them apparently ire
sponsible and even fraudulent. The great
mass of visitors will doubtless prefer the
| Quiet and economy of furnished rooms
such as alluded to, aud apartment hotels,
| arranging to take their meals from day to
| day wherever it may suit their conven-
ienoe. It is estimated that from sc, 900 to
| 100. 900 psople Can DO served daily with
meals within the exposition grounds alone,
while the number of hotels and restaurants
| is constantly increasing.
In answer to the many inquiries from
boards of trade and similar bodies con-
corning this alleged plan to demand extor-
| tionate prices FIR accommodations in Cal
csgo next summer, Major W. Marsh Kss-
ron, ut the request OF the director general,
has prepared the folio wing report from the
bureau Of puolic comfort:
This bureau has been established by the
worlds Coluu4 bian exposition to cooper

| ments, to the best of its ability, with the
| citizens of Chicago, for the comfort and
| prot =cticu of visitors, to secure for them
suitable and desirable lodging at fair and
| reasonable rates.
| The management is keenly alive to the
| fact that thousands of visitors will be de-
| fnr wis, thu TO how
can be fully assured on this point, hence
| every effort is being made to realize salts
| factory results in this direction.
