modern cannot be accomplished on short notice.
While the hotels of Hays cannot be cIassed

modatiOns for the transient are provided. Some
talk is being manifest for the construction of

had many years experience in the operation Of hostel

furniture provided makes up for the lack of other
facilities. Every visitor to the Brunswick hotel is
met with pleasant smile They are given the very
