Now Planned Are Carried
to Completion.
II all of the hotels which are being
Manned and are now under course of con-
skfuction are completed before the Worlds
Far, there win be no lack Of accommoda-
tons for the Exposition visitors. as there
has been during the last few weeks for the
merchants who have been in st. Louis for
their fall trading.
Sufficient hotel room is to be provided for
all the visitors expected by the Exposition
ojAcials, and there will probably be accom-
modations to spare. for the activity in ho-
tel building has seemed to attract all in
visitors, with tina result that new sites are
being sought and plenty Of capital is ready
TO invest in enterprises of this character.
In the past year there have been many
new homes built and others improved. The
boarding house capacity has not been taken
into consideration In figuring on the num-
bse Of persons who may DO housed, as the
demand for furnished rooms has never been
fairly tested.
Movements in real estate circles the last
week seem to Indicate very clearly that the
city will not be lacking in its facilities for
entertaining Its guests during the Worlds
Edr. ~.
