American standard of service, and
its rates during the past season were
s25 a day for an outside room with
bath, without meals. II purposed TO
cater only to those whom prices are
no object; but that sort of patronage
failed to develop in sufficient volume
TO maintain a full house.
Hotels Hit Transients.
"The other hotels charged rates
OF from sc to S12 for accommoda-
tons far from as good as one gets
at from SO to So in New York. The
result was that many people who
came to spend a week or ten days
moved up their return dates consid-
efably, and the tourist population
changed on an average every four
days.
The disappointments OF the past
season promise for the coming sea-
son a saner adjustment between
rates and service.
According to figures furnished
the writer by the Cuban department
OF Agriculture. much land produces
% bags OF sugar TO the acre. This,
at 10 cents a pound, brings a gross
return Of more than $1,000 an acre
These conditions brought about
the unprecedented boom in sugar
lands. One sugar estate, which was
bought some three years ago fer
100000, sold last January for So
10000 Another which was valued
at about 100000 a few years ago,
changed hands at 100000

/ present, compelling measures such
as Pres't MenoCaIs moratorium de-
cree. are in sharp contrast 10 those
/ described in the following COmmun-
cation TO the National Geographic
society by William Joseph Showal-
/ ter WHO visited the island curing the
! crest OF its prosperity wave:
Almost every person who visits
Cuba on pleasure bent lands in Ha-
vana. and comparatively few get
more than 90 miles away from that
city's central park.
IF New York. Chicago, Phila-
delphia, Boston and Washington
were consolidated. the resulting me-
tropOlis would bear about the same
relation TO the United States that
Havana bears TO Cuba. The capital
city is the home of more people than
are embraced in the combined pop
towns of the republic that have
more than 1000 inhabitants. Its
closest rival is Santiago, but that
city has only one-tenth as many
people.
Half Population I'm Havana.
LAS half of the country's urban
population is conferred in Havana,
so also is half OF its shipping. The
city normally handles a greater for
eign tonnage than any other port in
the Western hemisphere except
New York.
Most Of Cuba's wealthy families
have Havana homes. During the
past four years the net profits OF
the sugar business have probably
exceeded the gross returns of any
other foUr-year period in the history
Of the island.
The result is that perhaps no
other city in the whole world has
proportionately as large a wealthy
population as Havana.
"Out of these conditions grew a
situation where dollars were even
cheaper than they are now in the
United States. Tens OF thousands OF
acres Of land were laid out in resi-
denCe sites. and the Vedado dis
trict, the Riverside drive and Sher-
idan road OF Havana, was extended
until IL reached father from the
Prado than Riverside drive from
New York's city hall or Sheridan
road from Chicagos loop.
