discussion than mas been witnessed at IA
meeting Of this club since the time of the
| Gutte-Harrison fight for the commodore
! ship. The first resolution was for the do
ing away of the restaurant and bar and
| substituting billiard and pool rooms for the
benefit OF tile DOn-yacht-OWnlng members

present was seen, for after most heated

bers on the clubhouse wharf.

the club should build ways where it will
| be possible for the owners OF small yachts
and launches to haul them out when clean
