FOOD, HOUSING
PREPAREDF0R
INAUGURAL

With more than quarter OF a
million visitors expected in the
Capital this week for the inaugu-
ration festivities, the problem Of
feeding and housing them is no
small one.
But washington citizens have CO.
operated with the inaugural com
mittee in every way to make the
stay of the visitors pleasant.
Reserved for Months
with hotel accommodations
long since exhausted. almost every
room having been reserved for
months, the inaugural committee
on housing and hospitality, headed
by Edgar Morris as chairman, sent
out an appeal to citizens to open
their homes.
AS a result, close to 10000 rooms
were listed and roadside stations
have teen opened by the commit
tee. with lists of the rooms for in
coming motorists.
To supply the food needed for
the tremendous crowds, Washing
ton wholesalers and markets have
laid in a tremendous stock, most
of which will be exhausted befol1
the visitors depart.
Tons OF Food
Hundreds of tons Of foods OF
all kinds have been ordered in ex-
cess of the daily amount Of food
consumed in the Capital.
This is the first Inauguration
since the repeal of prohibition, and
visitors to the Capital will find
liquors of all kinds on sale, but
no open bars. The District liquor
law as adopted by Congress was
drawn up to serve as a model for
the entire country, and the prac-
tice of drinking over a bar was
prohibited.
Restaurant owners have pledged
there is to be no advance in price
Of food or drinks during the in
auguration period.

TIGER BARRED
FROM PARADE

Washington will not see the
famous marching club of Tam
many Hall in the inaugural
parade.
The New York Democratic or
ganization had planned on send
ing the largest group of marchers
in its history to celebrate the
second Inauguration of President
Roosevelt. But the inaugural
committee decided to limit the
parade only to the armed forces
Of the United States, soldiers,
sailors, marines, coast guardsmen,
midShipmen from Annapolis,
cadets from West Point and some
CCC units, in view of the fact that
that organization was started by
the Roosevelt administration.
So the Tammany organization
was forced to cancel its plans for
its greatest demonstration in the
National Capital.

those in the stands that have been
erected along the line of march for
the inaugural parade. These eX-
tend all the way up Pennsylvania
Avenue to the Court of Honor in
front of the White House.
Sale of these seats have been
highly satisfactory, it is reported.
Much discussion has been aroused
by the fact that the stands in
which the seats are for sale have
been built so substantially that
they would last for days, instead
of for only the few hours they
will be in use when the parade
passes.
1t looked like this might be a
waste of energy until members of
the joint inaugural committee on
the Hill learned that at one stand
which cost $4,000 to build, the
total sales so far had reached $18,.

And imagine the surprise that
the ghosts of our great legislators
