The seven houses give accommodation nightly to 2,430 persons. Each house -is provided with a comfy -ton -dining-room; a kitchen with utensils, end fire available for cooking 51 any hour of the day; and a provision store ie attached to each hattsm, excepting one, 'where 'uncooked food „can be purchased at market prices; .A largo recreation mom and emote bathing conveniences are also provided, and each llodger has a sepa- rate bed, \\ LIS springt mattress, pillow, sheet% blanket and bed mat, at a Owego varying from seven cents to twelve cents per night.
