THE UNION CLUB DISCUSSION

ARGUMENTS AT THE SPECIAL MEETING CONCERN
mo THE PLAN TO BUY THE DIX MANSION.
August Belmont made speech at the special
meeting Of the Union Club Wednesday evening" advo
eating the proposition to purchase the Dix honse and add
1t to the club building. He preceded By Edwards
Perrepont who put forward two resolutions the frat call
ing acquisition Of the property and the second
to effect that the necessary alterations should be de-
layed until the club in uas This latter resolution
offered meet the objections OF those members who
pointed out that the proposed purchase and alterations
would run the cnb into debt and ultimately make neces
care the Ieyng of an assessment pay the indebtedness
There was great deal OF lively discussion and srgu
mens for against the plan exchanged for nearly
two hours. Robert Goelet made the principal argument
against the resolutions. Mr. Belmont answered him as
already noted Oliver K King, the secretary briefly COZ
tended for the plan and was questioned at conderaoe
length by various members.
Those in favor OF the proposed to level the Dix
house to the ground and build structure to correspond
with the building. They estimated that this and
the furnishing would 500 900 above the amount paid
for the property. making total expenditure OF $4,000
and argued that the additional spAOe desired would be
obtained and everybodys comfort subserved. It was
commended In answer that $4,000 would not
meet the outlay attendant on such large
building operation AMI provide for the
proper furnishing of many large rooms Aud It was
further claimed that the additional room secured would
not be in the right place IL would be at the back OF the
building looking into side street, where members might
be persuaded 70 70
to lounge, talk or read. $500

members OF the Governing Committee In favor OF
admitting two or three hundred members. 70 was
therefore insisted that the buying % un.
attractive ounrtsra, and the admitanbe or
new members on the strength OF them, would simply
result In crOwdng the Fifthave rooms which even now
are often uncOmfOrtably filed. Several years ago the
CLUB tried TO buy the house the north In Fitth-ave
but too high price asked for it. II II could De pur-
chased now the club would decide 70 take It, Several
members pointed yesterday that the small attend
ance on "wednesday evening showed that the club had
not been made aware OF the Importance OF the proposed
ste SO that change few votes would have put less
than hundred men in the club In the position OF com
hitting thousand outlay. which is deemed by
many members hi hly undesirable.
