All Accommodations Taken
Last Year

A survey concluded recently among hotel and
boarding house operators indicated that their
patronage last summer doubled that of the pre-
vious year Many of these people expressed the
opinion that hotel and boarding house patron
age in 1886 was greater than III any year OF
tho citv's history. while others were of the
opinion that it was larger than in any year since
1925 or 1926.
1t was estimated that there were accommoda-
tons for about 1900 persons daily in hotels and
boarding houses. For two months during the
summer practically all accommodations were
filed, and business was good during two other
months. The volume of business was placed at
more than 100000 on the basis of only $500
a day for room and board, which was believed
to be far below the actual average.

WASHINGTON GAS
REVENUES CLIMB
September Loss Of $53,828
Is S2,236 Smaller Than
in 1886 Month.
BY EDWARD c. STONE.

The September report of the Wash
ington Gas Light Co., filed today with
the Public Utilities Commission, shows
operating revenues of $453,914, an in
crease of S32, ,145 over the same month
last year. Operating expenses in
creased from S389.593 in September,
1886, to S436,944 for September this
year, principally due to the cost of
producing the larger volume of gas
sold and because of increased taxes.
The net result of the months opera
tion after all deductions for interest
and amortization was a seasonal loss
amounting to $53,828. which, however.
Is S2,236 more favorable than that for
September, 1886. Earnings for the
nine months of the current year were
$458,959, compared with S498,899 last
year.
Operating revenues in the nine
months totaled $5.351,243 against
S5,230.655. or a gain of $120,586. Op-
Grating expenses. however. went up
faster than the increase in operating
earnings, standing at S4.2360l7, as
compared with S4,057,373 an increase
of $178644.
Gas sales reported by the company
for September this year were 609,04l
thousand cubic feet, as compared with
55l.581 thousand cubic feet for Sep
tember a year ago, an increase of 10.4
per cent At the end of the month
there we're 145.388 meters in service,
or a gain of $500 over the same period
of last year.
Banks Increase Business Loans.
Commercial loans made by member
banks in the Federal Reserve System
increased further in the four weeks
ending October 20, the Federal Re-
serve Board said in its monthly finan-
cial and business review, just issued.
Total loans and investments of re-
porting member banks in l01 cities
declined during the same period re-
1ecting chiefly a steady reduction in
loans to security brokers and dealers.
Excess reserves of member banks,
after increasing in September from
S750,000,000 to more than 81 ,00G 000.-
600. showed little further change in
October. the report said.
Declines in industrial production
reduced output to the level of year
ago, while commodity prices continued
to decline Volume of construction
contracts was smaller in September
and the first half of October than in
the preceding six weeks
Distribution of commodities to con-
sumers by department stores and mail
order houses increased more than the
seasonal amount, the survey states.
