divert the money given to colleges and
churches Into a fund for the erection
of a 1 great hotel . their philanthropy
would do more good. Practically all
the merchants agreed that the project
was feasible, and practically all agreed
to consider the: matter. .':
"The hoter we contemplate erecting
Is to house all . working girls who do
not live at home. They will be given
board and room, places for dances and
other amusement for $2 or $3 a week
