The bid ding power or office seekers and not prohibition has caused many hotels In the general vicinity of 42nd street to close recently, ""-cording to opin ions of rfj! (vUg. , expressed today. Within a relatively short time of one another such old and faaous hoatelrtea aa the Holland house, Sher ry's, aad the Fifth Avenae hotel kara dosed their doors, and ssore teeaa'tlir mm awemrtetva rrtrtHrty aMr rfn'd 'iBfowtag stractsjre, abaadoa'ed . w . .. ; buslnesa: - ' 'Prohibition has done this," cried many- "wets." but now one well knows- hotel has advanced the. theory that the steady march or business toward the newer uptown section was a paramount consideration of the meat who decided to close their hestclrlcs. 'A hotel doesn't have to run he- hind to close," he declared, "If the owner of the property considers It better business1 policy to erect an of fice building on the ground, he isn't likely to let sentiment away him. Prohibition? No! Let's say business." Real estate men admitted, how ever, there was no general formula to account for the disappearance or the old hotels, some of them tho pos sesion of International reputations. Some peoplo who are closely In touch with the hotel business ascribe the closing of some or the older houses to the fact that tho principles of hotel construction have under gone radical changes in the last dec ado. Hotels, they say, are bolng built with several times as many rooms as formerly, effecting a con centration about ono controlling headquarters, and reducing the-"ov- erhead expense" Incident to upkeep of Individual rooms and apartments. Something more than a sentiment al toss Is entailed In the passing or the old hotels, another hotel manager points out. "With the closing ot the Holland house. Sherry's, tho Knickerbocker and the Manhattan," he said, "there has been a decrease ot about 2,200 rooms available In the centor ot tha city. Recent structures have sup plied about 4,200 rooms, leaving a not gain or about 2,000 rooms In five year. This gain Is not adequate to accommodate the Increased de mand. I doubt It even the new ho tels now planned will bo sufficient to supply the demands of the greater number of applicants." That this fact la appreciated by hotel Interests is proved by the ex tensive preparations being made to fill the need. Plans are under way for the construction or several new hotels in tho up-town district. Ono large hotel Is to add 2,000 rooms, and another will be recon structed as to contain at least 3,000 rooms. In addition, beside construc tion of smaller housos, It Is said that a. California syndicate Is casting about for sites for several mammoth hotels In tha city, , BOSTON K en in FEARFUL I BOSTON, Sept. 27.
