Such a deep interest is taken by Nottingham in the welfare of tramps that it has just spent £34,000 on building a six-storey hostel for their comfort. For one shilling, and he is a poor tramp who cannot raise that in a day, the road-wanderer can have a cubicle all to himself with bed and blankets, and if attracted by the pleasures of civilised life he can call the hostel his "home" for 6s 6d a week. In Nottingham they call the hostel the "Tramps' Palace." Not only can "boarders" sleep in "Sneinton House," but they can have the use of a library, and there is a room set apart for them to wash their clothes equipped with the latest machinery. This includes a hot air "gadget" that enables a man to dry his shirt in two minutes.
