QUESTIONS OF ACCOMMODATION
A rather serious problem is that of
suitably accommodating all the delegates
who will be III attendance The hotels
are already crowded with the legislators
and the large number of retail mer-
chants i'll the city making spring pur-
chases, and it seems certain that a very
large number of the buttermakers will
be compelled to seek quarters elsewhere
K. Duke Barnum chairman of the ac-
conlmodation committee will be pleased
to hear from any one having suitable
rooms to rent during the continuance Of
Othe convention. Letters should be adj
dressed to the Office in the Auditorium
building.
