FREE QUARTERS.
Realizing that many Of our comrades will
] feel unable to attend the Encampment and
pay the expense of hiring rooms at hotels
| or lodging houses, arrangements have been
made to provide for many thousands of
| such comrades.
No outdoor camp will be established /; in
stead of which the Mechanics Building on
| Huntington Avenue has been engaged, to be
known as Camp Jack Adams, in honor Of
our Past COMMANDMENTS Chief. This camp
will accommodate 10000 comrades and be
| one of the great attractions of the National
Encampment. If necessary, other large
halls will be secured. so that no comrade
| NAV be unprovided for.
The Committee will supply mattresses
free for each comrade. and meals at a rea-
| sonable price will be served in the build
ing.
1t always happens that. the earliest ap-
| plicants fare the best. and all applications
| for free quarters from Posts must be made
officially through it's Commander. Indi-
vidual comrades may apply directly to the
Chairman Of this Committee. Special cards
| prepared for this purpose will be sent Com
manders of Posts or individual comrades,
upon application to Chairman of this Com
mittee. Credentials will be furnished each
comrade emitting him to these privileges,
which are not transferable.

person will range from 81 to S. per day,
| American plan. and rooms without board
at 81 per day and upward, European plan.

| two in a room. without meals. If meals
are served. prices for same must be ar
ranged with the proprietor of the houses
to which you are assigned, which range
from % to SO cents each meal.
Rooms in the vicinity of National Head
quarters at Hotel Vendome, Commonwealth
Avenue and Dartmouth Street, will
naturally be in greatest demand and will
be assigned in the order of application un-
| less other localities be preferred.
| In the opinion of the Committee it will
be better for all concerned if rooms only
be engaged, because our guests may find
it inconyenient to be at meals at regular
hours.
In some cases. breakfasts may be served
in the house to which you are assigned, ar
| engagements for which must be made with
| the host.
