Park hotel building to the local lodge of
Scottish Rite Masons. The structure is
a handsome three-story building and

dollars. At present the Scottish Rite

til mex October, when the masonic
bodies will remodel the place for their
own use. The upper floor will be used
as a lodge room and the second floor as
a masonic library and reading room.

will be fitted up as a banquet hall and
kitchen. 1t is probable that the building
will be extended back to the alley on the

of J. A. Savage, w. f. Thompson and
