No matter how we'll built or superby locd'eu

such a change by seeking prospective visitors u

one or more head servants who employ and d.
rect the women who do the work of cleaning
the rooms. halls, stairs. making the beds. etc
Then there is the stewards department, the
chefs department and many other depart
ments. The manager and his assistant man
ager are expected TO be constantly in touch
with every department of the hotel, but the
truth is that most of them are not. and the
burden of successfully operating the hostlery
becomes so divided and scattered that the stew
ards department is generally conducted I'm
unsatisfactory manner. the chefs department.
in about as bad state, the servants have no
efficient head to tell them what IS wanted and
10 show them how to do it. and il Is not sur
prising that things become topsy turvy and
that there are large and mystifying expenses.
The mana agement of many apartment hotels of
this city could be considerably improved but
the improvement must begin in the chefs. stew
ards and servants departments.
The helpers of most of the big apartment
hotels are underpaid, and many of them are
treated as II they were owned body and soul by
the persons who employ them They get about
$40 a month and board. and are expected to
work about twelve hours day. and sometimes
fourteen. and those of them that work below the
ground floor breathe bad air all their working
hours. and it is often under such conditions that
the food of the guests is prepared. Some stew
ards of the leading apartment hotels serve their
helpers with what is known to the wholesale
grocers and supply house trade as helpers food
New-York tribune., 1907-09-22

some idea of real estate values, for the manager
of a building lacking many of the features of the
average house and having especial fea. ures
of it's is almost certain to meet with failure.
If an offer is made to me to take control of an
apartment house or hotel. / spend at least sew
eraI weeks inspecting the property. The first
important thing to be decided is whether or not
the house IS properly located and If it is sub
stantally built If the house occupies whole
block front and has frontages street. yet
one side almost adjoins big building, quickly
reject the offer to take the management of the
property. I consider apartment house or
hotel perfectly built and located with the light
and air of any side Of the premises obstructed.
Some managers say the servants VIII not object
TO dark and poorly ventilated rooms. and that
houses with gloomy rear rooms must not be
considered imperfect because of those rooms.
Now | think a considerate tenant, that is, the
tenant with his own interests at heart. and that
means at least a respect for the feelings and
comforts of other people would not think or ask
ing his servants to put up with uninvitng sleep
ing rooms if he would not do so. In this
progressive age why become part or badly
constructed house when IL is easy 10 become
identified with a house that is properly built?
Nothing so jars my feelings as to have 10 eX-
plain to my guests prospective tenants
THE first question a prospective tenant asks
In entering a house is. Are all the rooms airy,
light and cheerful? They know what dark and
foul smelling rooms mean, and no woader tney
shun them. The manager of the badiy con-
