TO BUILD CLUBHOUSE
Athletic Club and Topeka Club
May Combine
To Erect a Beautiful Buildin g
Costing $40, 900,
To be Occupied by Both Clubs Though
in Separate Apartments-Mrs
c. S. Sutton's Plan

The summer of 1897 may see the
number OF handsome buildings in this
city increased by the erection of a
thoroughly modern club house, which
will rival the homes of any Of the
clubs Of the western cities.
There is a plan now on foot to erect
such a building at a cost of from $780,
600 to $4,000 as the permanent home Of
the Topeka Athletic association and the
Topeka club. The building would be
erected as the property of the Topeka
Athletic association, with the topeka
club as a tenant on a long lease
This plan is original with Mr.. c. S
Sutton auditor of freight receipts OF
the Santa Fe- Mr.. Sutton IS a member
of both the Topeka club and the To-
peka Athletic association, and leading
men of both organizations are interest
ed IN the project 1t has been decided
that. if a suitable site for the building
can be secured, the plan can be easily
carried out, and the assurance of the
club house now practically depends
alone on the securing of the location.
The plan proposed by Mr.. sutton is
feasible. and is as follows. The TOpe-
ka Athletic association as an organize
ton is to issue bonds to an amount
necessary to erect the building, and ar
rangements with the owner or owners
of the property selected as the site to
take a second mortgage on the prop
erty and building for the amount of the
purchase.
For the purpose Of meeting the bonds
payment of the mortgage the initia-
ton fee and membership dues of the
Athletic association are to be slightly
Increased, and the amount thus accru-
ing together with the amount of rental
from the Topeka club is to be estab-
ished as a sinking fund from which
all Indebtedness is to be paid. 1t is
considered ,avisable to make a prOvis-
ion by which the mortgage, held by the
owner of the property, is to be paid off
first.
1t is believed that a suitable club
house can be erected at a. cost not to
exceed $4,000 and by the plan prOpos-
ed, bonds for this amount can be easily
carried and paid off at stated intervals
without the least embarrassment to the
Athletic association.
Both the Topeka Athletic association
and the Topeka club are now occupy
ing quarters which are in a sense UNI
suitable, and both organizations are
paying heavy rentals. A combination
as proposed would prove advantageOu
ly tO both organizations in the erection
Of a handsome and suitable home.
A meeting of the directors Of the To-
peka club and Topeka Athletic associa-
ton viii probably be called at an early
date TO formally consider the project.
