THE CNIVERSITY CLUB ELECTION.
UNUSUAL INTEREST TAKEN IN TIA QUESTION
OF RAISING THE FEES

UNUSUAL INTEREST TAKEN IN TIA QUESTION
OF RAISING THE FEES
Unusual interest was felt in the University Club
in the annual meeting, which held in the club
house last night Two amendments to the constitution
and bylaws had been proposed, which had excited
lively discussion in the club One of them. for which
ex-Judge Henry II. Anderson former president Of the
club. responsible, proposed to increase limit Of
resident membership from 900 to go As there
have been for some time hundreds Of names on the
waiting list, this proposition had many supporters.
The other proposed amendment, which brought
forward by the council of the club, to raise the
annual dues for resident members from $50 to $50.
The club is in an extremely prosperous condition.
and has $15OOOO invested in hghclass securities
a building fund for some time in the futu,c. when
new house will he built. But the council thought It
desirable to raise the annual dues in order to
give larger income for the OF the
the club. il has been the rule to apply the initiation
fees to the building fund. and not to cxpend any Of
the money derived from initiation fees for current
expenses. The plan OF raising the annual dues
500 TO $40 bitterly opposed by many members,
who held that il the council would spend less money
in decorations that not necessary. and perhaps
in some cases not even desirable, the club could he
conducted in thoroughly satisfactory and excellent
manner. with its present annual income OF 100000
from resident members, with considerable revenue also
from resident members.
Up within few days there had been only
council ticket in the field the regular ticket But on
Wednesday independent council ticket was posted
on the bulletin board. Hence these two council
tickets before the members of the club for their
surages:
