BISHOP WEHRLE Con
FIRMS CLASS HERE

Bishop Wehrle Of the Bismarck
diocese pf the Catholic church con-
sflrmed ~ class at the st. JOSeph's
church in this city last Sunday. A
large nAmber OF people from the
country were present for the Occa-
sion. and dinner was served after
mass on the church lawn. Bishop
Wehrla has grown old In the SER
vice Of the church. and we believe
that he. has been a CONSTANT worker
for the church in this territory
longer than any other person liv-
ing During the pioneer days of
North Dakota the bishop, who was
then Il young priest, served pracs-
scally all the territory west Of Devils
Lake and north of Bismarck, max
ing regular visits to each commune
ity| In which Catholics resided to
conduct mass and look after the
ether spiritual wants Of the church
members His trips at that time
were made mostly on horseback,
and many times he would be gone
from home for many days. AS the
country settled up other priests
were sent to this state and less
travel was necessary. Later wnen
the number Of Catholics in the
state warranted it Father Wehrle
was appointed bishop with the
whole State as his diocese, and still
later the state was made into two
diocesas, and Bishop Wehrle was
given the west halt OF the state.
He has seen the country grow from
a wilderness to its present state,
and his experiences here from the
time he first started his work until
the present time would make a
very Interesting book.

was instructed to wholly disregard

We presume the bankers will round

most OF them will reYuse to pay

THE COMMITTEE FOUND THAT Albu-
querque's present hotel accommodations
will shortly be further reduced because of
the fact that one of the local banks has re-
Gently bought property now used for hotel
purposes, which the bank will soon occupy,
thus taking away a block of the most desir-
able hotel rooms in the city, and that there is
no present prospect that this hotel can re-
place the rooms it will thus lose.

THE COMMITTEE FOUND THAT real
estate men, bankers, merchants, doctors,
lawyers, were able to and did mention by
name dozens of persons who had come to
albuquerque in search of employment,
health or investment, and that these persons,
although amply supplied with funds, were
forced to go elsewhere because they could
not find adequate hotel accommodations.
The appalling situation was disclosed that
those with money go and only those without
funds remain.
The evening herald. [volume] (Albuquerque, New Mexico) 1914-1922, 1921-01-08

THE COMMITTEE FOUND THAT some
of the hotels give ~transients a time limit of
two days and that one gives a time limit in
certain cases of "a hours, and that this is
made necessary by the fact that because of
the crowded hotel conditions persons wish
ing to come to Albuquerque on business are
forced to make reservations far in advance
and that the hotels must take care of such
reservations by displacing other guests from
rooms.
The evening herald. [volume] (Albuquerque, New Mexico) 1914-1922, 1921-01-08

THE COMMITTEE FOUND THAT with
out any duplication from 100 to 1877 tran
sients are turned away nightly from the AL
varado, Sturges, Combs, Savoy, Grand Gen.
trail and Films hotels, and that while every
effort is made by the clerks of these hotels to
find outside accommodations for the over
flow, it is very often impossible to do so, es-
pecially for the considerable number who
arrive on the late night trains.
The evening herald. [volume] (Albuquerque, New Mexico) 1914-1922, 1921-01-08

THE COMMITTEE FOUND THAT two,
three, and at times as many as four persons,
strangers to each other, are compelled to
occupy q single room, in order to get a place
to sleep, and thai these persons accept these
impossible conditions because they nave no
other option. 1t was found that in most in

rooming houses have been thriving on the
overflow from the commercial hotels, some
of them charging hotel rates, and that this
patronage is chiefly of persons who desire

and also, that by filing the rooming houses
with transients, people who want rooms by

find them and are thus forced 20 leave
