BEDFORD GROW i NEVER BEFO U a II D HIV r I, HOTELS CROWDED; AS IS POSTOFFICE HOTELS JAMMED Boarding Places and Lodging Houses All Doing Tremendous Business. Mcdford's hotels, rooming houses and I hi" like wore never before so iTowded with newcomers ns they nre at the present time. The Moore, the Xnshumt n host of rooming houses never before were doing as great a business. People have been turned away often or i ins found for them on the outside. Tile restaurants in the city are filled each day and ev erything indicates that the present rate of business will increase as the summer comes on with the influx of people from the east. "I only wish that the Nash was twice its present size." slates Man ager Johnson. "We are crowded ev ery day and are forced to send peo ple lo other places because we have nol the accommodations for them." "The .Moore is fining n record busi ness." states the "father of the West Side." "People are crowding us for accommodations and we have not the room. Prosperity is surely here. I am surprised at the large number of newcomers." All Ibe other men in this line of business have Ibe same story lo loll. People are coming by every train and inusl be cared for. The local busi ness men are reaping a harvest. A new hotel lor .Med fun I is among Ibe probabilities of the near future. Plnns have been drawn and part of the slock subscribed on u tentative l.roposition to erect a complete mod ern hostelry to accommodate the in creased business. Both present structure-, are turning way people and neither shows any indications of buibbi -g the needed accommoda tions. The Nash some time since planned Ibe erection of an addition the "I." in the interior, providing lf modern suites, with limits, but there has been nn sign of building ns yet. .Wither has Ibe Hotel Moore extended to Ibe corner as once contemplated. Ibe owner bedding il more valuable lor business purposes than for ho tel. Mr. Moore, however, will pro vide a suitable site for a fine hotel on the West Side, and take a substantial stock interest, and is understood to be figuring along these lines with capitalists.
