HOTELS WILL NOT RAISE RATE
IN rs

The San Francisco Hotel Associa-
ton definitely decided last night that
it will not raise prices during the 1915
Exposition above their present rates.
Ninety thousand rooms at prices
ranging from one to three dollars a
day will be at the disposal of visitors.
Bus lines will run from ferry and
depots to the hotels at charge of 25
cents per passenger and there will be no
runners on trains, steamers or at
depots.
These matters were decided upon at
meeting of the association held in the
Hotel Argonaut last night.
Three hundred and fifty hotel men
We're present They represented the
total of 90 600 rooms in 240 hotels.
Each one of these rooms was pledged
to the moderate tariff. When the
final list is made up another $4,000 or
80, 600 rooms will have been added.
The disposition of visitors to the
different hotels will be made by the

Kirk Harris, manager of the bureau,
presented report to the Downtown
Association at its weekly luncheon in
the Hotel St. Francis yesterday. He
furnished facts and figures and
explained the part which the bureau
will take in proffering San Francisco
hospitality.
His reason was indorsed by the as
ISOLATION and was an integral part of
the agreement signed at the hotel men S
meeting last night.
The meeting was presided over by
President Frank E. Game and was
addressed by prominent hotel men, all
in favor of the agreement.
Among the speakers were Kirk
Harris, Daniel G. Coleman, Edward
Metzger, Robert Behlow, E. R. Clute
and R. P. Troy.
These men pointed out the futility
of attempting to raise prices in that it
would defeat the natural aim of hotel
keepers to make a profit on their
properties. San Francisco Chronicle.
