Busy Preparations
The exposition city, San Diego, CAL,
is buster than ever making prepara-
tions for its great exposition to be
held in celebration of the openino Of
the Panama canal in 1915.
Part of this preparation is in pro-
viding accommodations for the thous-
ands of visitors who will be in the
city on that occasion.
New hotels have been erected, but
the prospect is that there will be need
of many more. Last year 5000 new
houses were erected but they were all
filled very promptly and this year
building operations are increasing by
great bounds The number of trans
tents is San Diego is now about
forty per cent greater than the num-
ber that was there last year at this
time. In fact, the city is growing so
fast that what were intended to be
accommodations for transiens coming
to see the exposition, are being taken
up by permanent inhabitants, and the
need of building faster to accommo-
date the real exposition visitors is in
creasingly apparent. President d. G.
Collier says the exposition will draw
more people than any other of similar
magnitude ever held, and as he is con-
stantly travelling about the country
lis estimate is entitled to great con
iideration. Certainly, no ether expo
sition was ever built on such novel
and interesting lines, and none other
ever had so united and enthusiastic
a community behind it.
