Getting Down on Profiteers
INVESTIGATION OF CORONATION ACCOMMODATION United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. Received Thursday, 11.30 p.m. LONDON, Feb. 18. Tne Government has ordered the appointment of a Coronation Accommodation Committee which is compiling a register of all available Coronation accommodation in London and Greater London. The object is to ensure a "square deal" for visitors especially as all hotel accommodation is already booked. The committee has no legal powers to prevent profiteering but its inspectors will examine and value the accommodation being offered in private houses. Owners asking extortionate prices will be struck off the register. The committee will also endeavour to prevent room prices rising as the Coronation date approaches.
