The members OF the Arcanum Wheel
men will find much to interest them at
the regular meeting which will be heid
at the club quarters in Linden HAN.
Aside from the election of officers for the
following year, q matter OF 6reat import
ance to the club will be considered Inc
members have for some time been IN
search of quarters ana "
the plans of one of the members DO not
miscarry the club will be enabled TO
purchase a building at very smaai cost
The building in question Is a frame
structure one and a haaf stories N
height. and contains nve large rooms
with a large attic above suitable foT the
storage of wheels. The building now
stands upon a lot not many miles from
the clubs present quarters. The owner
has contracted for the erection of q larg-
er building on the site and must either
sell or tear down the building now oe-
cupying the site. The building has been
offered to the club at o very low Inquire,
and all that the club will have to do II
it decides to purchase it is to find a
vacant lot and move It.
President John ]. Yuhl. when Informed
of the project last evening, became mose
enthusiastic over the possibility OF the
club securing a clubhouse of its own,
and lost no time in searching far the
necessary site. Earay this morning he
made a o of the town and visited
may property owners who have unim-
proved real estate on their hands, ana
met with unexpected success, He mas
secured an option on a number OF choice
lots in the immediate vicinity OF the
Boulevard. and his report will probably
decide the matter.
If the club decides to purchase the
building. scrip win be ISSUED and a tuno
large enough to detrayA the expenses
and the cost of maintaining the club
house for the first year will be thus
created. A number of members nave
already assured President Yuhl thai
they will subscribe literally to the FUND.
