#002 The Worlds Columbian Exposition Scrapbook, 249
Our plan, as set forth in the former circular, is to erect
buildings adjacent to the Fair Grounds, capable of sheltering
5,000 women, the rooms to be furnished with comfortable
beds and toilet conveniences. These Dormitories will be pre-
sided over by refined, motherly women who will have a watch-
ful care over unprotected girls who may come singly or in
groups.
In order to accomplish all this work we have formed a
stock company, and will soon be ready to issue stock in shares
of $10. These shares will be taken at any Dormitory of this
Association in payment for lodging bills. Only two persons
will be allowed to come at one time on a single share. These
shares will be transferable, and if the face value is not used by
the holder during her stay, it can be made over to another who
can use the balance. After the ten dollars has been used, the
share still stands on our books, credited to the holder, and
she will be entitled to her pro rata share of the profits, if a
surplus remains after the enterprise is closed.
Our rate per day will not exceed forty cents to stockholders,
and if the Association finds it can safely do so, the rate may be
put at thirty-five cents, but this we can not promise. Each
person must engage her room at least one month before com-
ing, in order to be sure of accommodation at that time, and in
making application for stock, must state what month and
what part of that month she desires to come.
The Association finds it will be necessary to limit the
number of guests to be entertained during each month,
hence the first to apply for stock will have the choice of the
month in which they will come, while those who follow later,
may be obliged to select another month when there are
vacancies.
Stockholders will be given the preference over others.
Non-holders of stock will be furnished lodgings whenever
vacancies exist, but we may have to chargethem a slightly
higher rate.
