Ninety two per cent of the girls earn a sufficiently high wage that they were enabled to pay the regular rates charged. Three and one-half per cent pay a smaller sum, and four and one-half per cent are temporarily housed rent free. Most of these are occupying "loaned" beds, for which they are eventually expected to pay, the report specifies.
The wage scale ranged from >16.50 to $30.00 per week in Los \ngeles, and the relation of age to
