Cost of Running a Big Hotel.
You have no idea what it co its to run
ii hotel like this. There is a big help
list, rent. supplies for table, gas bill,
heat and many minor things, besides the
general wear and tear. ()ur expenses at
present will foot up nearly $1,200 a day.
Of course in summer there is no heating
up of the house by steam, and that knocks
a big item OE, but, taking all the year
round. our expenses will average fully

to run the house empty as full. Now
