Housing Plan for Visitors Developed by War Recreation Board
A War Recreation Board committee studies a comprehensive Housing Plan modeled on the San Diego exposition system. A California trip brought back a detailed report by Elbert M. Vail. The plan inventories hotels and rooming houses, sets rates, and reserves rooms in half hour blocks for prospective patrons. Headquarters will be in the city’s business center with trained staff. The classification will guide accommodations for families, men, young women, couples with children, and women traveling with chaperones.
