State rent on Neville Street hotel questioned
The West Virginia contract with Rahall Realty for the Neville Street building has run about fifty eight thousand dollars for twenty one months of occupancy including some locked out days.

Critics warn of possible political influence by the Smith and Rahall interests to limit competition and keep rents high.
