Bank disposits and post- al savings have increased. In six months of prohibition, inmates. in Wayne-co. ‘poorhouse shrunk from 1127 to 622. Very few of these 622 are physically able to do manual labor. Hotels are affected variously. Many complain their business has been hurt. The city’s most centrally loeat- ed large hotel—the Pontchartrain—is about to close. Many \other similar ones have quit business.
