HORSE BOARD HAS GONE UP

Another Judicious Combination Has Been Formed

THE LIVERYMEN MET

Will Cost $15 a Month Instead of $13 to Board a Horse Hereafter

The price of everything is soaring upward.

The latest is that the price of horse board has gone up. The principal liveryman of the city meet Tuesday and decided that, owing to the rise in the price of hay, grain and bedding, they must make a corresponding rise in the price of horse board.

Heretofore they have charged $13 per month for the care of a horse and carriage. Commencing on April 1 they will charge $15 per month. This will include the care of the carriage, the storage of the sleigh during the summer season and the storage of the carriage during the winter season. It will not include the sending of a driver with the rig.

Said one of the liverymen: "We are now paying 45 cents for oats while last year we bought them for from 25 to 32 cents a bushel. Hay last year cost us $7 and $8 a ton. Now we have to pay $9 and $10 a ton."
