properly, II would seem. although the
grounds for the decision do rot appear 10
be strictly consistent VITA modern con-
eItiona The chief reason Of the court Is
that hotels are for the accommodation of
travellers. and that when the guest de-
elarec her purpose TO become a perma-
nent resident the relation OF traveller and
inn-kesper ceased This does not seem to
be quite the condition OF affairs. In olden
times. inns were conducted for the accom-
mediation OF travellers who were compelled
10 make long journeys. and there were no
sleeping cara. Passengers by stage coach
were compelled to make use of inns. and
laws COVER ning their relations were neces-
sary. But these great caravansaries OF
modern times. although they are called
hotels, are not for the use OF travellers.
They are boarding houses where people
are invited TO remain. not for the night.
but for weeks and months as a temporary
residing place If guest pays the price
demanded ii does not seem to make any
difference whether the stay Is for one
month or six months or a year.
The more important consideration seems
10 be that a guest should not have the
rigAt 10 stay after reasonable notice TO
quit. Without being guilty OF improper
conduct. . guest might become offensive
to the other guests. and even TO the en-
ployes. and make ais presence undesirs ble

IL would be q narsa Law which compelled
a hotel to b permanently buriened by a
presence which might be a detriment TO
the house. Such law would compel the
landlord to resort to devious methods 1t Ia
far more just To permit the hotel to be lid
