Milne, manager OF the Los Angeles
Examiner excursion party, which
will visit this city in August on Its
Way to the Far East, asking what
rates for meals and automobile rides
could be made for party OF 200,
this being the number he expected
to conduct on the tour. A rate OF
81 per plate for lunch had been
quoted by Mr.. Hertsche of the Mo-
ana, which he considered exhorbi-
tant. ]. +. Bush moved that the
acting secretary be Instructed to
confer with Manager Hertsche and
ascertain the lowest rate he would
be willing to charge per capita for
lunch to these excursionists.
Mr.. Milne stated that the hotels
st. Francis and Palace, of San Fran
cisco, had quoted him a rate OF 81
per plate, and he considers that n
fair rate and is willing to pay that
amount; but that 81 q plate he can
not, and will not, pay.
The Promotion Committee thought
that this excursion party should not
be held up, as It would be the cause
OF much unfavorable comment by
the members OF this party when they
returned to the Coast and spoke OF
the hotels of this city as charging
| 81 a plate for just an ordinary
lunch.
The acting secretary was instruct
ed to ascertain what arrangements
could be made with automobile and
livery men 10 ascertain II satisfac-
tory rates could be made to convex
these excursionists to the various
showplaces in and around this city.
