The building of Foresters Hall in
Jersey City has been well and favorably
spoken of for the past two years, and at
the present time it is enthusiastically ad-
vocated by all who have the interest OF
our beloved order at heart, aud as all
things must have beginning, we, the
undersigned, have formed ourselves into
committee TO bring the matter more
thoroughly before the courts in Hudson
county for their action in the matter We
have obtained the permission of the E. C.
OF the Grand Court to issue this circular
to the different courts in Hudson county
and ask your hearty and active co-opera-
lion IN This matter. and trust you will
be favorably impressed with the idea
and exert yourselves to help build this
grand monument to our order in JERSEY
City. Our request TO you is to elect one
OF the members of your court to represent
you at a meeting to be held in Roche's
Hall, Grove and Morgon streets. JERSEY
City, on Thursday, November 13, 1890. to
discuss ways and means TO bring this
grand object TO successful ISSUE The
delegates so elected to attend said meet
Ing Will form temporary organization,
elect officers pro TEN, decide what num-
Der OF shares shall be issued, how many
shares snail De heid by any one individ-
ual, or by any court. so that no one court
or individual shall hold the controlling
interest in the association, and
this delegation shall also de-
eide what each share shall cost.
There is no hall in Jersey City which
Foresters can call their own, and there
eau be built in this city such hall that
will be an ornament aud a credit to our
order. And such a hall can be made
self sustaining, and a profitable invest
ment to the courts and members of our
courts. For instance, such hall could
be built to contain stores on the first
floor, which would command good reu-
tai; on the second floor could be built
grand ball room, such as we have not in
this city, and which would command a
good rental and would be in demand by
other organizations as well as Foresters,
and on the third floor could be built
lodge rooms which would be in
demand and tenanted by For
esters each night in the week.
Such hall, if built on prominent street,
would be an ornament and credit TO our
city, as well as grand boom for our be-
loved order. The delegates to be elected
under this call shall report back to their
courts, and after a certain amount of
shares are subscribed Tor, such subscrib-
ers shall form permanent organization
and be incorporated under the laws of the
State of New Jersey, and the officers SO
elected by the shareholders shall furnish
good and sufficient bonds. This project
can be carried out, providing we have the
hearty cooperation and assistance of the
members in Hudson county.
We trust you will give this your kind
consideration and be represented at our
meeting on Thursday, November Is. 1890
