Caring for Dedication Visitors Has
Furnished Pointers to
Landlords.
MORE HOTELS ARE NEEDED.
No Complaints Were Made Re-
garding Accommodations in
Big Hostelries-More Space
Is Needed for Fair Year.

Tho Dedication crowds. say St. Louis
hotel men. have been of great Importance
as an object lesson. They show just how
many people can be taken care of with the
present facilities. and what is needed in
the way of new hotels to handle the people
who will come here during the Worlds
Fair
As far could be learned, there was
comparatively little complaint on the part
of Dedication visitors of their accommoda-
uons. Those who were lodged in the big
downtown hostelries were, for the most
part, well pleased with the treatment ac-
corded them.
Where it was necessary to crowd several
persons i'll one room, AN apartment with a
bathroom connected was selected for the
purpose. Preparations for handling the
crowds had been complete. and all the big
houses carried on theic business smoothly.
with little OF no congestion in any depart
ment.
While the Dedication period is compare
lively short. the MOTEL men believe that the
experience obtained from 1t would enable
them 10 accommodate stream of visitors
almost as large for period as long as the
Fair proper Will last. They say, however.

lis an excellent thing for the local hotel
situation. 1t prepares the hotels for what
they may expect next year. When the Fair
is well under way there are likely to be as
many strangers in the city all the time. as
is the case now. OF course, at that time
there will be many more hotels, and the
crowds can be more readily handled. The
present rush has showed many points
which will have to be strengthened. On the
whole believe our patrons have been thor
oughly satisfied
In the matter of the commissary depart
ment none of the large hotels. as far as
