ACCOMMODATIONS FOR VISITORS.
At the conclusion OF the Street Clean
ing Meeting at Pythian Castle, last even
Ing, Judge a. c. Hinkson called on all
to remain and consider another matter.
Frank Miller was called TO the chair, and
MI ~ 1ly I'll
tention to the need tor action at once to
provide lodgings for the people who are TO
come here to the Electrical Carnival and
Admission Day celebration who may not
be provided for by the Native Sons. He
knew that there would be an immense
attendance. Ii something was not done
men, women and children would have
no place to sleep. Such a happening
would be black eye years would not
heal to the city.
Mr.. Miller said there was certain to be a
large attendance outside OF those that
come and Will be cared for by the Native
sons, who are making house to house
canvass now for lodgings for their peo-
pie. Sacramento must provide for her
guests. Our houses must be thrown open
to our Inconvenience, If necessary. He
suggested that the State military tents
might be secured by proper application,
and pitched on the Grammar school lot
at Fifteenth street. which is nicely shaded
a nd grassed, or on the Plaza. and some
one secured to place therein a thousand
cots, and charge as low as % cents for
lodging.
The people would be content, he said,
for it would be clean and comfortable
lodging, and at such time the American
people are accommodating, and know
how to stand some crowding. But some
thing must done if the Carnival Commit
tee has not acted in the matter
q. Fl. Lsvenson thought that the Car
niVal Committee must have acted. 1t
was lnconceivable that they had not.
l.. s. Upson said there were several
societies that had provided for their
guests. The athletic club was fitting up
the old Pavilion for the athletes that are
coming. They will have comfortable
cots there.
Judge Hinkson and several others fur
ther debated the matter, and all agreed
on the necessity for action if the Carnival
Committee has not acted already, and no
reports in the press had been printed
showing that they have taken up the
matter at all.
Finally the following committee was
appointed to confer with the Native Sons
and the Carnival Committee, with power
to call meeting to organize an effort and
proceed with the matter fully: Judge A.
c. Hinkson, G. Il. Lavenson, NJ. Il.
Beard, ii. Bennett and c. j. Wiley.
