ed that prison labor was twenty-five
per cent cheaper, than citizen labor.

Hotel Directors Study
Plans of Architects

Not minute is being lost by the
directors of the Harrisburg Hotel
Company in preparing for the hand
some structure which will adorn the
old Opera House corner at Third and
Walnut streets and prove a fitting eli
max to the activities of the Chamber of
Commerce during the year which is
now drawing to a close.
For three hours yesterday at the
Harrisburg Club the directors listened
to the suggestions and inspected the
tentative plans of two architects who
desire to have a hand in the design
ing of the big building. Other archi-
tects will meet the electors at noon
day luncheons during the rest of this
week.
E. z. Wallower, chairman of the
special hotel committee, sent out u
letter to-day advising many who have
not yet subscribed to the stock of the
hotel corporation that an opportunity
would be given this week for investing
in this local security which means
more than a mere financial return.
Friday morning at $50 o'clock, re-
sponsive to the proclamation of Mayor
Meals. scores of the energetic business
men of the city will gather at the old
Board of Trade building and throw out
flying squadron to interview all peo-
pie who should have part in the new
hotel.
