During the week of the state fair local
hotel facilities are naturally inadequate
! TO provide lodging accommodations for
all those whose business requires that
: they remain here over night In years
/ past many of our citizens have rented
4 such spare rooms as were available in
their homes. Usually the regular hotel
rate has been paid in such eases, and
this service has been appreciated by all.
II is q regrettable fact, however that a
few householders have taken advantage
! Of the situation and charged consider
ably in excess Of the usual hotel rates,
| in some cases quite double. Such profit.
eering does more TO hurt our town than
many dollars worth of good advertising
can offset Nothing gives town a black
/ eve quicker than oyercharging in an
emergency It is to be hoped that public
4 opinion will make this form of profteer-
/ ing so unpopular that there viii be no
complaints this year.
