SOCIAL LEADER
A committee appointed from among
the directors and officers Of the Scran-
ton club yesterday inspected the house
owned by w. w. Scranton. on Monroe
avenue. corner OF Linden street. Dur
Ing next week they will discuss their
visit to the property and the probable
cost and details. which would be in
volved in temporarily occupying the
property. and will make a report at a
meeting to be held next Saturday at
ternoon in Colonel II. NJ. Boies' office.
The committee Is composed Of Colonel
Boies, the president of the club, Major
j. w. Oakford, T. II. Watkins, ]. B.
Dimmick. W. T. Smith, H. W. Kings
bury and +. L. Fuller The majority
Of members Of the club approve Of the
temporary club house idea; others think
useless expenditure would be incurred
by the plan, as the articles and furn-
ishings necessary to the equipment OF
temporary home would be practically
unavailable for use In the proposed
quarters in the board of trade struc-
ture now building. This objection
might be met IL 1t was now known Of
what nature the arrangement and dec
orations Of the board of trade apart
ments will be. That is one objection
to the temporary plan; another objec-
tion Is Of financial nature, few being
opposed to paying the initiation fees
OF 800 and dues OF $50 each until such
time as the club is prepared to occupy
permanent quarters. However, the pre-
ponderance Of sentiment favors the es-
tablishment Of the club at once. and It
will not be surprising II the report of
the special committee commends the
present plan.
