AS the last OF washington S In
augural visitors began to trickle
home last night, it became apparent
that at almost any time during the
week hotel rooms were available
and meal could be eaten in an un-
crowded restaurant.
1t was generally conceded that
predictions of overcroWding were
responsible for soaring away ex-
pected trade.
To restaurant owners and the con-
cessionaires, Inaugural Week was
flop as far as money making was
concerned. Hotel managers stated
it was mo bonanza" but most of IL
downtown hotels polled had nothing
to complain about other than a few
empty rooms and business not quite
up to what was expected.
The Inaugural Housing Bureau on
Thursday made it clear it had some
10000 rooms in private homes with
no takers.
Many Brought Lunches.
sour restaurants were very much
disappointed" Robert j. Wilson.
executive secretary of the Washing
ton Restaurant Association, said.
1--WE were ready to take care OF from
20 to so per cent additional business
but it did not materialize.
The people who had the con-
cessions along the parade route were
truly disappointed" Mr.. Wilson
said. Their business was just
terrible. A lot of them did not do
one-fourth of what they expected"
Other restaurant figures called the
Inaugural "a grand flop
Among the reasons advanced by
Mr.. Wilson for the lack OF business
was that many people brought
lunch to the parade and went home
right afterwards People staying in
hotels apparently ate there.
This was borne out by the hotels
which reported restaurant and bar
business ranging from average to
very good and way above normal.
Bus Traffic Rose 25%.
Frank E. Weakly, of the Washing
ton Hotel Association and the Ward
man Park Hotel, said the week was
mo bonanza. He pointed out that
hotels had to empty their rooms
before Inauguration in order to be
able to furnish promised rooms.
In addition, there was the expected
emptying after the festivities were
over.
Last minute cancellations left
some rooms available almost con-
stantly. he said.
Hotels reporting restaurant and
bar business above normal included
the Mayfower, the Raleigh, Shore
ham, Statler, Hamilton, Washington,
Roger Smith. Roosevelt. Ambassa-
dor. Annapolis and Harrington. All
said business was back to normal by
yesterday.
The Greyhound Bus Terminal re-
ported a 10 per cent increase OF
passengers on Wednesday afternoon,
most of them going out OF town,
however. Thursday traffic was up
Is per cent, evenly split between
incoming and outgoing, and by Fri
day it was normal again. The ter
minal handles more than 5000 daily

cousin of Mrs. Patterson, as a wit
ness at the trial. He announced
earlier that he wanted to take a
deposition from Col. Mccormick but
he said yesterday that there would

take a deposition from Col. McCor-
mick during the trial if he cannot
be obtained as a witness.

Yesterday that postponement of the
pretrial conference until this Fri
day made the special appeal unnec-
essary and it has been dropped

episode of the week was being in
vestigated today by Nansemond

the incident. But he said he be-
lieved the participants were not the
same group which last December II
burned a cross on the property OF
County Fire Warden N. H. Brad
shaw. All of the members of that
group, he pointed out, were hooded
and masked, and there was a cere-
mony at the burning.

Sweat front yard. Police Chief o. D.

Dangerous Deep Holes Near
Shore Could Easily Be
Death Traps

In an effort to prevent drown
ing tragedies along the lakefront
this summer, city councilmen on
Monday evening voted to close the
area from the pier to Fulton
Street to all waders and swimmers.
The action came after Council
man William Goebel reported he
had donned swimming trunks and
walked along the beach to dis
cover that there are several deep
holes close to the sand beach.
Goebel said the holes are over
six feet in depth and are so close
to shore that they would quickly
trap unsuspecting swimmers. The
holes are in the area between the
former sand bars.
Councilmen expect the holes to
be filled by natural wave and cur
rent action now that the lake
front contour has been changed.
This natural fill should be COM
pleted by next summer when the
beach will be open for public
swimming.
Signs will be posted to warn
bathers of the dangers along the
area and other action will be
taken to prevent youngsters from
using the dangerous beach.
City Clerk William l.. Zeis re-
ported that Mayor Carl Becker's
monthly report of fines collected
during May totaled $675.50.
The council meeting was held
on Monday evening, rather than
the usual Tuesday, due to the
Firemen's Convention.
Most of the evening was spent
in discussing curbing and sewers.
City Engineer Kent Wedekind told
councilmen of the different plans
for curbing in Washington Street
between Sixth and Seventh.
Councilman Paul Schmitt re-
ported that the airplane field and
ball diamond in Waterworks Park
are nearing completion and will
be in use soon.
Unsightly weeds in vacant lots
about the city will be moved
soon, with a private citizen to be
hired to do the job.
