Readers complain railways and boat lines favor the Mayville hotel, leaving large boats absent at Chautauqua Lake. A party traveling Friday had to hire a tug for $5 to reach Jamestown, then missed their return train and paid extra to Lake View, while holding return tickets on other lines. The Bradford Era notes this sharp practice as unacceptable.
