AThLbTlS SLVh.-A 6oOO
last evening. Mr.. Finn submitted the
report Of the committee on building pur-
chase and ground lease, which stated their
action to have been as before reported.
On the motion to accept the report, MIR.
Sut,erly remarked that in the lease the
Club ought to have the refusal Of the
ground-lease for a longer term than one
or two years; and he contended that a
price for the lot occupied should be sup,
ulated now in the terms Of the lease-saia
price to be agreed upon as within the as
cre,ion Of the Club to pay for the iot a'
any time within twelve months from aa'e.
He considered the rent-Si0 per month
for the ground as very large, too large.
Blu, that amount having been determined
upon, the Club ought certainly to secure a
privilege Of purchase within a year, at a
sum 10 be named when the lease was
drawn and the option Of leasing should
by no means be restricted to two years.
The society were proceeding to expend a
very considerable amount Of money on the
premises referred to, thereby enhancing
the present value Of adjacent property. A
thousand dollars would be expended there
in q short time, and within n and two
years several thousands would be applied
to fitting up the gymnasium. With no
right reserved to purchase the ground, at
a prescribed price, and with only two
years in which the lease isl bound TO run
or held at the option of the Club, there
was not, it appeared to MIR. Sutterly, a
wise plan proposed for and on behalf Of
the Clubs interests. He hoped the Trus-
tees or Directors would be instructed to
conform the terms Of the lease to the sug-
gestions he had advanced. Mr.. Finn said
it was understood that the lease would
provide for a purchase at the expiration OF
q year, If the association desired to buy,
at a price to be determined by three ap-
p~raisers, 10 be chosen in the customary
form. Mr.. Sutterly still insisted that the
lease should have more than two years to
run, at the option of the Club, and that
the sum for which the Bank Of California
would sell the ground, within twelve
months. TO the society, should be named
in the rental papers. The report OF the
committee was accepted, and the commit
tee, at their request, discharged. They
have had very tedious duties to perform.
and have performed them faithfully and
well; and the progress Of affairs, in the
matter Of providing new quarters for the
Club. is largely due to their energy. They
deserve a vote Of thanks. Mr.. Finn
then moved that q Building Committee 1"
be appointed TO supervise the erection
of the building. Against this motion q
point Of order was raised, on the
ground that the constitution provided that
the Board of Directors should perform all
such service. as was intended to be re-
quired Of a Building Committee. So in
sisted Messrs. Hoover, Deal and Sutterly ;
Mr.. Finn AID Bruckmann arguing to the
contrary. The President, Mr.. Edwards,
decided the point well taken /; but his de-
cision wa overruled by the majority OF
members present. The President appoint
ed, as a Building Committee, Messrs.
King. Noey, Deal and Rosener. The
President was. on motion, added to the
committee; which is, in personal, identical
with the Board Of Directors. A Com
mit,ee on Nominations of Officers was
then moved and elected-consisting Of
seven members, whose report is to be
handed in on next Tuesday night. The
business meeting then adjourned; and
Prof. Kuh's singing class proceeded with
their rehearsal. Probably within three
weeks the Club will have a new and COM
modious Hall for their fantastic but very
healthy capers. All things seem working
well toward that consummation. A thous-
and dollars is needed for the first and alb
solutely required work on the premises.
The members have subscribed nearly
$3.50; and a collecting committee is "out'
to-day to "injure'' the citizens generally
as much as they can with their solicita.
tions.
