...system was unsatisfactory to many. Some left the Hall and the result was still higher board to those remaining. There were undoubtedly some other but less important causes. The Corporation has remitted three quarters of the payment on the debt for two months and if both systems at present on trial in the Hall are carefully managed and advertised with the idea of pleasing the men who board there and not of finding the easiest wholesale job for the management, the writer believes that these efforts will meet with increasing success.
