HOTEL SURVEY REPORT.

A Nationwide survey of the hotel in
dustry is reported In Hotel Management
as being conducted by the Engineering
Economics Foundation to determine the
extent to which the industry is over
built. 1t is claimed that the consider
able recent increase in the number OF
apartment hotels has affected adversely
hotels proper.
1t appears from this survey that,
taking the country as whole, hotel
returns have not increased materially
since 1921, following q rise Of over 40
per cent in the preceding two-year
period. The combined aggregate habili.
ties from hotel failures for 1927 and
1928 were reported higher than the
combined aggregate for the six pre-
ceding years.
The number Of hotels in the United
States is reported to have increased by
20 per cent since January l, 1920, and
the number Of rooms by Al per cent.
The percentage Of occupancy OF repre-
sentative hotel rooms in all parts Of the
country is reported to have declined
from 85.5 per cent in 1920 to Cts per
cent in 1928.

Contrary to much popular opinion, Glover

The Automobile route is via Que Street, with
its historic old residences; or Massachusetts
Avenue, which is unquestionably one of the
city's most notable boulevards.
A new Government park, several play.

numerous churches and, of course, stores and

Architectural variety, however, is only one of
the many reasons for the unusual popularity of

show a remarkable dollar for dollar value here
